Ripe for Bliss: Sacred Alignment Through the Beatitudes

Sunday Gathering
Written By Lane Smith

"In the 4-week journey toward Easter, we're walking the Way of the Christ through Jesus' teachings to awaken the Christ presence within and live it boldly in the world.

For our second week, we explore the sayings commonly known as the Beatitudes of Jesus with Lesa Walker, LUT. The Beatitudes are far more than a series of blessings—they are strong affirmations of alignment with God-Mind. They outline a way of Being that places our roots deep into the rich soil of God substance, sustained by the spiritual flow of Life, setting the stage for how we are to BE in the world gone mad!"

Awakening the Divine Within

Leading up to Easter, we’ve walked the Way of the Christ through Jesus' teachings to awaken the Christ presence within and live it boldly in the world.

The Easter story begins with a question: Who will roll away the stone? Yet the deeper message of Easter is not only about a stone moved long ago but also about the awakening of divine life within us today. 

On Easter Sunday, join Dr. Nancy Little as she explores the spiritual meaning of resurrection through the lens of Unity teachings and the story of Mary Magdalene in the garden. Together, we will reflect on a timeless truth: even in difficult seasons, something within us is always ready to awaken. Communion will be shared as we celebrate the renewing presence of Spirit in our lives.

The Miracle Mindset: When Consciousness Shifts, Everything Changes

In the 4-week journey toward Easter, we're walking the Way of the Christ through Jesus' teachings to awaken the Christ presence within and live it boldly in the world.

On Palm Sunday, we often remember celebration and expectation—but beneath the story is a deeper invitation. What if miracles are not supernatural interruptions, but shifts in awareness? In this message, Rev. Aliza explores the miracles of Jesus as demonstrations of aligned consciousness—moments when fear gives way to faith, limitation dissolves, and divine possibility emerges. When we change how we see, we change what becomes possible. This Palm Sunday, we consider the miracle that begins within.

Stories That Wake Us: The Inner Power of the Parables

In this 4-week journey toward Easter, we're walking the Way of the Christ through Jesus' teachings to awaken the Christ presence within and live it boldly in the world.

Jesus didn’t just give instructions—he told stories. Simple, earthy, human stories that bypass the arguing mind and speak directly to the soul.

In the first message of our series, Rev. Aliza explores the parables as living metaphors—mirrors for our own consciousness and invitations to awaken. Through a New Thought lens, we’ll discover how these timeless teachings aren’t about moral performance, but about inner transformation.

What if every parable is less about someone else—and more about the state of awareness we are cultivating right now?
