Mystery Moment Movement
This past week at Soul (simpli)City Sunday we talked about the process that God uses to actually cause a person to begin to THINK differently with their mind. We talked about three components to the process of Mental Transformation.
The first is the MYSTERY – that experience we have all had when the Holy Spirit begins to whisper – “I have created you for so much more.”
The second is the MOMENT when a person responds to the Mystery with two very important internal questions –“I think I am created for more… but Is it worth it & and Is it possible?”
Then the third part of the experience dawns with the MOVEMENT that occurs in a person’s life through the work of the Holy Sprit and the help of the people of God – the Church.
We spent time talking, dreaming, hoping, and praying about what SOUL CITY CHURCH can do in the process of movement. We are passionate about helping people take the moments when their hearts are tender towards God, or when the bottom falls out in life, or when they experience a renewed desire to become more dependent on Jesus, or when they look at their life and desire for more…
So many of us have those moments – those holy discontents – but we don’t know how to respond to the mystery of the Sprit and take movement – To actually step onto the path of Spiritual Transformation. This is one of the primary values and passions of Soul City Church – helping people take the moments when the Spirit of God whispers and actually experience movement.
What does the process look like for you when you experience Mystery, Moment, & Movement? What do you dream about when it comes to a church that is dedicated to doing whatever they can to help people take movement in becoming all of who God created them to be?
The Value of Moments that lead to Movement
I love a great Moment. I love experiencing it, love co-creating it, love sharing it. However, so often, Moments stay just that – Moments – Singular events that happen – are great – then gone.
What if the Moments we experienced together on Sunday were actually coming FROM other moments that happened all week? And what if the moments we shared together on Sunday sent us OUT to greater moments with God, each other, and our neighborhoods? AND what if the moments that Kids experience, and Parents experience, and Couples experience, and Friends experience are Intentionally Created to push us all in the same direction?
That’s what Soul City Church is trying to figure out – How Moments lead to Movement.
We believe that something unique and transcendent happens when people gather together in one place seeking God. We do all we can to create moments that are not only memorable, but transformational. Moments that move us forward together. Soul City Church is committed to creating excellent environments and experiences where people can encounter God and take steps in their relationship with Him.
- So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless.
