Burning Bowl and White Stone Ceremonies

Our traditional ceremony to release anything you want to leave behind in the old year and listen to guidance for 2015.

As Me: Who Have I Come Here to Be?

The pinnacle of the spiritual journey is to move from human to divine consciousness. We know it can be done—we’ve seen it. It’s the reason Jesus was born.

Thru Me: What Is Mine to Do?

When does a deliberate creator surrender to something greater? Can I simply hold higher consciousness and let the divine work THRU me?

By Me: How Did I Create This?

With a little spiritual awareness, we learn we have tremendous power and responsibility inherent in our own divinity. Life is created BY me. Amazing as that is, it’s just the first step.

To Me: How Could God Let This Happen?

Most of us see ourselves as victims more often than we’d like to admit. Life seems to be happening TO me. But there’s a way out.

A Harvest Celebration

Mendhi Audlin

With our guest speaker (and Unity of Wimberley first Spiritual Leader) Mendhi Audlin, we gather together to be grateful.

Do Not Be Anxious About Your Life

In this inspiring and reassuring passage, Jesus sums up all his teachings on abundant living.

How to be a Hypocrite (or Not)

Jesus made fun of people who pretended to be religious and wanted everyone to see. But he also taught us to judge not.

Push Pause

Rev. Paulette Pipe

Our guest speaker was the Rev. Paulette Pipe of Touching Stillness Ministries, Lee's Summit, MO.  She brings with her the message of meditation, and that peace of mind can be as simple as a deep breath in moment.

Lord's Prayer

The prayer Jesus taught is a model of affirmative prayer. He wasn’t begging God for anything.

You've Heard It Said, But ...

Jesus built on the old Jewish laws by expanding them to include not just behavior but consciousness. That makes them a lot harder to keep!

Beatitudes

Jesus had some radical ideas about who is blessed and will enter the kingdom of heaven. Rev. Ellen begins a five-part series on The Sermon on the Mount.

Three Faces of Christ

Just as we have studied three faces of God, we consider three faces of Christ, including the one that is your face.

OZ: No Place Like Home

At last we discover our inner powers!

OZ: Lions and Tigers and Bears

What kind of courage do you need to meet your fears?

OZ: Head and Heart

Have you ever made decisions about yourself that might be flat wrong?

OZ: Over the Rainbow

The Wizard of Oz is a great metaphysical story, and we recognize ourselves in it as we seek to understand our own powers. Or do we?  Did you know you have an inner Toto?

Sacred Texts: OMG

Rev. Ellen talks about just what we mean by "God?"

Sacred Texts: BFF

Rev. Ellen talks about the spiritual benefits of friendship.

Sacred Texts: LOL

Rev Ellen talks about the spiritual benefits of laughter.

A Science of Mind and Spirit

Rev Merry Shaver
Austin Center for Spiritual Living

Guest speaker was Rev. Merry Shaver, who talked about the Science of Mind.  "There is a power for good in the Universe and you can use it."  This is how Ernest Holmes, the founder of Religious Science, began his radio broadcasts.  How would our world be different if we were using this power consciously?  Discover the thing itself, the way it works, what it does, and how to use it.

Are You Hiding From Guidance?

Have you ever felt called to make changes in your life that you didn’t want to do? Ever felt terrified and overwhelmed by the possibilities being presented to you? You’re not alone. It’s a problem as old as the Bible.

Living In Principle

Principle Five: Put principles into practice. Prosperity is not just what you receive, but what you give. How is spiritual law applied as you decide where to spend your dollars?

Ask And Its Given

Principle Four: Prayer and meditation link us to the divine. Let’s go over this again: You’re supposed to pray, but you’re not supposed to ask for anything?

Creating Your LIfe

Principle Three: Thoughts have creative power. Supposedly the Law of Attraction says you can have anything you want if you hold the right thoughts. But what about all those times it doesn’t seem to work?

Your Divine Rights!

A Series on Prosperity based on the Basic Principles of Unity: Principles One and Two: God is all there is, therefore humans are divine as well. If you are living as a divine being in an abundant universe, then getting what you want should be easy. Right?

Yertl the Turtle

What can Dr. Seuss tell us about American freedom?

Spiritually Unlimited

You might have heard someone say that Unity is "culturally Christian and spiritually unlimited." Rev. Ellen say it sounds nice, but it's wrong on both counts.

Freedom Through Forgiveness

Roland Kemokai

Our guest speaker today was Roland Kemokai. He spoke about forgiveness, starting with his birth in Liberia - when his mother abandoned him and put him in a dumpster. Roland lives in Round Rock these days and told his amazing story!

Spiritual Gifts

God has no hand and feet but yours. How does God express through you?  Lessons in Truth 11-12

Never Separate

We are fully human and fully divine, never separate from God as we traverse this earthly experience.  But how do we stay in conscious contact with the Source of all things?  Lessons in Truth 7-10

Power of Thought

More than 100 years ago, Unity was teaching exactly how to use the creative power of your thoughts.  It still works.  Lessons in Truth, Chapters 3-6.

God Is Within

We are God and God is us and all is one. A lovely thought, but how does it help us get through the day? A new series, based on the Unity Classic, Lessons in  Truth, by Emily Cady, Chapters 1-2

Motheeeeeeerrrrrr! (Add eye roll)

Mother’s Day, we consider ways that parents and children can let go of each other.

Leap, Look, and Listen

Charlie Thweatt

Our guest speaker, Charley Thweatt, begins with a meditation, and a song before sharing with us his three steps towards the God in you. Charlie is a very popular Unity and New Thought movement musician.

Mary Magdalene

In every gospel, Mary Magdalene is named as the first person to find Jesus' tomb empty. She must have been important, especially when women were an afterthought. What do we know about her?

For This Purpose, I Was Born

This was Easter Sunday and we celebrate the living Christ in each of us.

What Did Jesus Ever Do For Us?

In Unity, we don't say that Jesus died for our sins. So what is the crucifixion about for us? What is the meaning of atonement?

Look At Us Now!

This was Anniversary Sunday and the talk includes memories, tributes and tall
tales about Unity of Wimberley’s first 10 years.

Light and Dark

Peter struggled to accept the light of the divine in him, and Judas couldn't make the shift. Both are part of us. This is "Anniversary Sunday" and we are including some tributes to the history of UoW.

Prodigal - The Father

We might identify with the black sheep prodigal son or the resentful elder brother, but each of us is called to be the father.

Prodigal - The Elder Brother

Ever felt overworked and underappreciated? Ever thought someone else was getting what you deserved? If you're exhausted and resentful - and have a right to be! - the Elder Brother is alive in you.

Prodigal - The Second Son

Not everyone squanders a fortune on wine, women, and song, but most of us forsake our divine home at some point. We end up slopping pigs in a faraway land.

Keep a True Lent

This week is Mardi Gras and Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent. Are you planning to give something up? How about something that’s hurting you anyway?

Reactor or Creator?

If your New Year’s resolutions have already failed or been forgotten, today might be a booster for your vision. Learn the universal laws that help turn vision into reality.

How Am I Doing?

With Valentine’s Day and our church’s strengths workshop, we might be tempted this week to compare ourselves to other people. Dr. Seuss has something to say about that!

The Joys of Desire

Living in one of the richest countries in the world, where did we get the idea that something is wrong with desire? Is it true that wanting will only make us miserable?

Prayer and the Three Faces of God

The way we pray depends on who/what/where we envision God to be. Our words, practices and even our expectations might change depending on where we “aim” our prayers.

What's Next?

Today was our church’s Annual Meeting, and this spring is Unity of Wimberley’s 10^th birthday! A look at where we are as a spiritual community and what might be next for us. What is Spirit trying to accomplish here?

Revelation: End Times

The Second Coming, the Day of Judgment, the Tree of Life, a new heaven and a new earth. Revelation does not predict the end of the world but a new world.

Revelation: The Hero's Journey

We are on a spiritual journey through a human experience that can look and feel like hell.  Is this really necessary?

Revelation: The Promise

For all its wild imagery of beasts and violence and suffering, the Book of Revelation actually promises heaven to those who overcome.
