Special Music: Tend, Eden Edell, by Bethel Music
The Heart of Worship
by Matt Redman
Eden Edell grew up in the Bay Area, has been playing music for over twenty years, performing for ten, and has written more than a handful of songs. People are often moved when they hear Eden sing and the stories she tells in her music. Her musical style is Indie Folk but she also sings Blues and Jazz tunes. Her music is described as ethereal and grounding at the same time.
Message: Part 2) “Who Were These Three Wise Guys?” Rev. John Song
This is the conclusion of the Epiphany sermon delivered on Jan. 5th. There are two dimensions of life: the outer forms we can perceive with our senses, and the formless realm that makes it all possible. Although we humans tend to primarily focus on the outer forms to assess reality, there is at the same time an unseen and inward movement toward that reveals the primordial source of all life. Wise men from the East teach us that there are two sides to reality and the importance of seeing both seen and unseen to understand deeper truth.
Joel 2:28
God’s Spirit Poured Out
I will pour out my spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your old men shall dream dreams,
and your young men shall see visions.
