In the kickoff sermon "Sacred Now," we will explore Isaiah 60:1-6, which calls us to arise and shine, for the light of God’s glory has come. This passage emphasizes the immediacy of God’s presence in our lives, inviting us to uncover the sacred in our current circumstances, no matter how challenging they may be. Drawing from Rob Bell's themes in "Everything Is Spiritual," we will reflect on how every moment, every encounter, and every experience can reveal the divine if we are open to seeing it. Ultimately, we are encouraged to embrace the sacredness of the present, allowing God’s light to guide us and transform our everyday existence into a profound expression of His love and purpose.
