FINDING THE LOVE WITHIN – Part 3

Rev. Cecilia Loving shares what Robin Wall Kimmerer teaches in Braiding Sweetgrass, that “the organic symmetry of forms belongs together; the placement of every leaf, the harmony of shapes speak their message.

In 2 Corinthians 5:16-17, Paul says “Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” When I think of newness, I can’t help but think of John 3, when Nicodemus sneaks out […]
