Today, Rev. Wendy Craig-Purcell emphasized how life's hardships are not meant to crush us but to challenge and strengthen our faith. The speaker shared a personal story about the daunting task of raising $500,000 for acquiring a building, highlighting the initial discouragement from expert opinions that projected only $19,000 could be raised. Despite this, through faith and collective effort, the congregation successfully secured the necessary funds, illustrating that with God, all things are possible. The sermon underscored three key lessons: the boundless possibilities with God, the fallibility of expert opinions, and the flexibility of solutions beyond our preconceived notions. It concluded by encouraging self-examination of personal challenges as opportunities for growth and deeper reliance on God, reinforcing that significant challenges are avenues to strengthen our faith.

The story illustrates how individuals—whether truthful or not—can play a crucial role in pushing us forward.

Rev. Wendy’s lesson today explores the journey of overcoming an eating disorder that began as an attempt to control weight but evolved into cycles of bingeing, shame, and self-judgment. Triggered by major life transitions, the struggle ultimately revealed deeper issues of self-acceptance and emotional avoidance.

By sharing this journey, the author hopes to inspire others to seek support, embrace their true selves, and view pain as a catalyst for transformation.~ Website: http://www.theunitycenter.net ~ Download Our New App: https://theunitycenter.churchcenter.com/setup~ Ask Yourself This: https://www.amazon.com/Ask-Yourself-This-Questions-Expand/dp/087159336X~ Subscribe to our YouTube channel: http://bit.ly/2hBqp7F ~ Purchase Lesson Series Packages: https://theunitycenter.net/sunday-series-packages~ Listen to our Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6YJWcAhQUnkEHFqBXQmz1G

Today, Rev. Wendy Craig-Purcell starts a series on “transformation” which is a challenging yet essential journey, often sparked by unexpected detours. These detours—whether sudden, gradual, or intentional—push us toward change, revealing the person we are meant to become. Just as a bulb holds everything needed for growth, we already have within us what is necessary for transformation. The journey is rarely a straight path but a zig-zag of experiences, challenges, and redirections that shape us. Personal detours, like the author’s experience with Ice Capades, can feel like failures but often serve as divine guidance leading us to something greater. Trusting in God’s detours allows us to grow, find purpose, and move forward in faith.~ Website: http://www.theunitycenter.net ~ Download Our New App: https://theunitycenter.churchcenter.com/setup~ Ask Yourself This: https://www.amazon.com/Ask-Yourself-This-Questions-Expand/dp/087159336X~ Subscribe to our YouTube channel: http://bit.ly/2hBqp7F ~ Purchase Lesson Series Packages: https://theunitycenter.net/sunday-series-packages~ Listen to our Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6YJWcAhQUnkEHFqBXQmz1G

Today, Rev. Wendy Craig-Purcell's message continues her healthy relationships series on thriving on effective communication and constructive conflict resolution. Active listening—giving full attention and seeking to understand—fosters deeper connections, while mindful speech ensures words are kind, true, and necessary. Spiritual traditions emphasize speaking with wisdom and compassion, as seen in Christianity’s call to uplifting speech and Buddhism’s practice of right speech. The need to always be right can damage relationships, creating division instead of connection. Conflict resolution involves staying calm, listening respectfully, and seeking common ground. Inspiring figures like Nelson Mandela exemplify how reconciliation leads to healing. By practicing mindful communication and embracing humility, we can nurture stronger, more meaningful relationships.Website: http://www.theunitycenter.net Download Our New App: https://theunitycenter.churchcenter.com/setupAsk Yourself This: https://www.amazon.com/Ask-Yourself-This-Questions-Expand/dp/087159336XSubscribe to our YouTube channel: http://bit.ly/2hBqp7F Purchase Lesson Series Packages: https://theunitycenter.net/sunday-series-packagesListen to our Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6YJWcAhQUnkEHFqBXQmz1G

Today, Rev. Wendy Craig-Purcell's lesson explores the metaphysical and mystical interpretation of the Nativity story as an allegory for the spiritual journey. Focusing on the star, the Wise Men, and Herod, it highlights themes of guidance, inner wisdom, and egoic resistance. The star symbolizes divine light and intuition, guiding us through uncertainty. The Wise Men represent seekers of truth, bringing gifts of spiritual significance: gold (divine worth), frankincense (spiritual connection), and myrrh (release of the old). Herod reflects the ego's fear of spiritual awakening, resisting transformation. The lesson emphasizes turning within for guidance, being open to divine redirection, and navigating life with wisdom, compassion, and purpose.~ Website: http://www.theunitycenter.net ~ Download Our New App: https://theunitycenter.churchcenter.com/setup~ Ask Yourself This: https://www.amazon.com/Ask-Yourself-This-Questions-Expand/dp/087159336X~ Subscribe to our YouTube channel: http://bit.ly/2hBqp7F ~ Purchase Lesson Series Packages: https://theunitycenter.net/sunday-series-packages~ Listen to our Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6YJWcAhQUnkEHFqBXQmz1G
