When it comes to the topic of Prosperity, the Gospel story of the Feeding of the 5,000 (Matthew 14:13-21), is likely to be one of the most popular stories to be used as the basis of explaining how, in God Abundance, we do not ever have to worry about any lack.

However, what if the Potential is available but we fail to recognize it? What can we do to ensure we do not go hungry even though we are continuously fed?

Inspired by the Gospel of John (14:6), "I am the way, and the truth, and the life," Jean-Marie will unpack some of the central Teachings of Jesus Christ expressed in this and following verses while applying it to our daily lives today. Contrary to traditional interpretation, Jesus Christ's instructions were directed to all of us, expressing our own Divinity by his example.

What can we learn from these few words? And, how can they help us, especially with any struggles we may currently experience?

With recent events in mind, Jean-Marie will address the challenging task of loving "thy enemy," as Jesus Christ commanded. How can we love when every fiber of our being is repulsed by the behavior we witness? What can we do to truly embrace Jesus Christ's number one commandment to not only love one another but our enemy as well?

Two millennia ago, Jesus Christ was credited with saying “You are the Light of the World." This phrase was not limited to only a few but meant for each and every person in attendance. Yet, after all these years, we still endeavor to hide our Light from the World. This Sunday, Russell reflects on how we can more deeply see God in and as ourselves and in and as one another, allowing us to throw off our self-imposed limitations and reveal the fullness of our Light in the World.

For this fourth Advent, Rev. Jean-Marie reflects on the topic of Joy and how the Christmas story of the birth of Jesus Christ offers a direct pathway to a joyful life no matter what the circumstance. Beyond the joy of the Savior being born, we can learn to save ourselves by recognizing the many opportunities with which we are gifted every day to allow true Joy to arise in our hearts and minds.

For the third Advent, Rev. Jean-Marie is approaching the topic of Love, which is always in the air, or otherwise considered in the ether. Once we recognize that Love is always around us, we realize our ability to always use it, whenever we can think of it.
