Introducing Sacred Space

As human beings, I believe we are created in God's image -- and by that I mean we are created to be in community with God. Being in God's image means that God gazes upon us and desires for us to experience the fullness of life which is only to be found as we enter into communion with God. If we have ears to hear and eyes to see what God is saying and doing in the world, we begin to see that God's sacred presence and actions are all around us. God invites us into this sacred space and extends an invitation to us to enter into all that God is doing, all that God is creating and recreating, all that God is saving and restoring, all that God is making whole.

Living in this sacred space transforms our living in this world and our living with others in community in this sacred space acts as sign and demonstration of what human life and relationships can be like when they are lived in community with God.

I believe God has revealed to us what this life encompasses. God entered into our humanity and revealed to us the fullness of life in community with God through the person of Jesus the Christ. At Christmas we celebrate God entering into our human world as a human being, but God in Jesus remained more than a babe in an impoverished setting -- Jesus revealed to us the way to live in community with God in the midst of the daily struggles of life -- but more than that -- as we identify with him, as we participate in community with him, we are given the privilege of entering into communion with God.

This blog is meant for communal engagement in sacred space -- as we creatively explore and encounter together what it is to live life in the way of Jesus -- because as we engage life in the way of Jesus, we begin to discover the fullness of life in communion with God. I share this journey with you and extend an invitation for us to journey together.
