After the events of Easter the disciples decided to go fishing. They fished all night and caught nothing. In the morning a man appeared on the shore and said to cast the net on the right side of the boat and they would catch fish. They did and caught 153 fish. They quickly realized that the man was Jesus. In all of our pursuits in life if we can remember to approach things from “the right side” (from love, charity, and kindness) we will be fruitful. Trying to do things from human ingenuity or the attitude, “I am right” we will be frustrated. If in all our interactions with others (partnership, friendships, parenting, the workplace, and so on) we can remind ourselves, “Let’s approach this in a loving way.” And then ask, “In what way can I come from a heart of love, kindness and goodness?” Or simply say, “Okay, let’s fish from the right side,” as a reminder. See what happens. We hope you can join us Sunday at 10:30 in person or via live stream here on our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/BoulderNewChurch/
As long as you have access to the internet, you can join us for worship no matter where in the world you are.
There are many churches in this world. With so many choices it can a bit overwhelming to find a church that fits. Here are a few ideas about The New Church so you can see if it might be a good fit for you. First, we are not a traditional Christian church. We do follow the Lord Jesus Christ--but we don’t think you are going to hell if you don’t. Second, we believe the Bible is not supposed to be understood literally. It was written and given to us because it contains a deeper “spiritual sense” that is really about our inner or spiritual life. And third, God never judges anyone. We judge ourselves by the choices we make every day in freedom. We are creating a heaven or hell within us right now by what we love and pursue in our lives. We simply continue living after death in the way we have chosen to live here, but more completely. These are a small sampling of the ideas that make up The New Church. Please join us for worship or explore this web page for more information.
We have choice. Our choices make up our spiritual character. It is important to know that there are good impulses flowing in from heaven and selfish impulses flowing in from hell.
