The Ultimate Comeback
 
Easter is less than a month away, which is plenty of time to be active in spreading the hope and renewal that people are looking for! 
 
This 2021 Lenten season represents a special time of renewal for many of us after a year of unprecedented change. Jesus epitomized renewal by declaring the ultimate comeback when he told his disciples that he would return. This Sunday we will look at what it takes to make a strong comeback in our own lives. We know that we have within us the ability to make a comeback by recognizing the Truth of God in our own lives. We begin to find our way forward without having to be attached to what the future holds. 
 
As Eric Butterworth would say: we should work "to cultivate a consciousness that brings exactly what you need into your life" and not try to plan out its entirety. It may sound like a big goal but cultivating this consciousness will ultimately remind you of the abundance always present within as a child of God. 
 
I look forward to seeing you this Sunday on Zoom at 5 p.m.

"For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”

"HEART THOUGHTS"

❤with Rev. Jesse❤
Dear Beloved Community,

I invite you to join me this month to include a focus on Divine Strength to your spiritual practice. Breath and stillness are the portal for this walk. Divine Strength is an important power to bring alive for a more balanced human experience. It is the power that allows us to be still, to hear and listen to divine ideas, to have patience, tolerance, and steadfastness in our human relationships and with ourselves. The power center for strength is located at the base of our spine, which makes perfect sense because it is our spine that provides our support for physical strength as well. It allows us to walk a more centered spiritual walk.
 
Perhaps a good thought to hold as we go into meditation with Divine Strength is from a piece of scripture: “God breathed life into creation and called it good.” So, what this says to me is that all our experiences can be for our good if we are willing to look a little deeper. Also, if we are made in the image and likeness of God, we create in the same way with our thoughts and feelings. Sometimes, when I’m not crazy about an outcome, I remind myself: “It was the best I could do at the time.” Seeing life this way can sometimes take a lot of Spiritual Strength on my part.
 









If we forget and allow ourselves to get pulled off center, we can always start over with our thinking and make a different choice. Spiritual strength is our spiritual backbone that empowers us to do what our humanness alone might not even think possible. “In God all things are possible.”
 
On Sunday I shared with you my decision to step down as part-time minister at Unity of Blairsville. Please know that I have had to use every bit of wisdom and Spiritual Strength in making this decision. It is my time to step away from Unity ministerial leadership. My Being is hungering for a simpler, more free life-rhythm right now. Know that I will still be with you on Sundays and continue to be a Sunday speaker once a month. You are my community, and I am not going anywhere!
 
I am holding a peaceful, centered walk for us all this week as we focus on our Spiritual Power of Strength. 
 
Love and Blessings to you all
Rev. Jesse

New Class with Rev. Jim Rosemergy

“If You Only Knew, Exploring The Deep Mysteries of Spirituality”

Saturdays at 1 p.m.
starting April 10 - May 15, 2021

Hosted by Rev. Jim Rosemergy, this one-hour Zoom class is a class like none I have ever shared before, filled with insights into the spiritual journey I have never taught or written about.
There is no fee for the class. I like to let principle work, so it is available to you on a love-offering basis. Just before the class gets started, I will send you my home address for those of you who want to send checks and, also, a PayPal email address those of you who want to share a gift electronically. You can pay all at once or week to week.

It will be an experience in which you will know that confusion is the mother of wisdom, that doubt is the precursor of faith, that darkness is often a better description of God than light, and that mystery is the most accurate name for God.
I think there are going to be lots of people in our gathering, so I am working on supportive materials to make the experience as helpful and growth promoting as possible. For those of you who have been in class with me before, there will once again be thought starters, summaries, “Own Work,” probing questions and exercises, etc. This is an opportunity to expand your consciousness in a mystical and yet practical direction. Over the winter months, I have been writing my autobiography tentatively entitled, “The Autobiography of a Christian Heretic.” The writing process has been a revelation to me, and it is the source of some of the new breakthroughs I am experiencing. It will be my joy to share them with you.
As the class content is revealed to me, I will send you more teasers and pertinent information for the class. Prior to the first class and each week during the gathering, I will send you a link for the class, so make sure you have your Zoom program ready to go.

If you would like to be added to the class, please send your email address to:
jimrosemergy@gmail.com
Get ready, my soul. I can hardly wait!

In Joyous Service,
Jim

Unity's Five Basic Principles

We encourage you to explore and apply Unity teachings based on your own spiritual understanding. We believe this spiritual understanding is enhanced through reflective prayer and meditation.

The five basic ideas that make up the Unity belief system are:

  1. There is only one Presence and one Power active as the Universe and in my life, God the Good.
  2. Our essence is of God; therefore we are inherently good. This God essence was fully expressed in Jesus, the Christ.
  3. We are co-creators with God, creating reality through thoughts held in Mind.
  4. Through prayer and meditation, we align our heart-mind with God. Denials and affirmations are tools we use.
  5. Through thoughts, words, and actions, we live the Truth we know.

Wise Old Sayings

No matter what the situation,
remind yourself:

'I have a choice.'
