Sermon

The sermon discusses the difference between amusement and inspiration, emphasizing the importance of spiritual growth and connection with God. Key Insights: - Purpose of Attendance: Many attend church seeking inspiration rather than mere amusement, highlighting a deeper spiritual need. This calls for reflection on how we carry that inspiration into our daily lives. - Significance of Three: The number three symbolizes various stages of growth and life essentials, emphasizing the importance of foundational beliefs in spiritual development. - Fire as Truth: Fire symbolizes transformation and purification, suggesting that true spiritual growth often requires a process of letting go of the past. - Vision Quests: Exploring ancient practices reveals the universal human quest for meaning, often achieved through fasting or deep reflection. - Experiencing God’s Essence: Understanding God requires a personal encounter, moving beyond theoretical knowledge to heartfelt experience. - Emotional Resonance: Our emotional experiences, such as tears, indicate a connection with God’s essence, suggesting that spirituality is deeply intertwined with our feelings. - Everyday Spirituality: Encouraging connections with God in daily life reinforces that spirituality is not confined to church but is present in all our interactions and experiences.

Sunday School: Science experiments with a lesson how we can reflect God

Reflection Items: Different items like mirrors, aluminum foil, and metal spoons provide varying levels of reflection clarity.

Biblical Reflection: Paul the Apostle illustrated our limited ability to reflect God using Corinthian mirrors. 

Distorted Reflections: Distorted reflections in spoons and dull reflections in aluminum foil symbolize how we might poorly reflect God. 

Human Value: The era of individual perfection and restoration of true human make it possible to reflect God better. 

Fun Activities: Activities like upside-down reflections and ceiling reflections with spoons and mirrors help explore reflection properties .
