Listening






Yesterday, I went to a church called, "Door of Hope" in SE Portland and was amazed at what I heard from the pastor. He preached on the reasons of why we should go to church (not about being a church consumer but that we are the church), about how to commune with a body/ in relationship, and how not to. A lot was about truly loving and how it's not about "me" or "I" but about "us" and "we".

I went for a nice bike ride (1 hr and 15 min.) out to the country and listened to his sermon on "listening" which was kind of ironic because a lot of it talks about solitude and silence. He spoke on how our world is so addicted to being connected that we have no idea how to be a lone with ourselves. And even though we use these different devices; phones, email, and FB (and really blogging) yet many of us feel alone.

Below is the link to the audio's of a bunch of his sermons. Listen to them in order if you like but definitely check out the "Listening" one.
