Sermons About Beauty
What's your view?
What we see in life depends many times at where we are looking. At times we can miss the view, we can become focused and moving towards the wrong things. Looking at the wrong things will also change our view of God. If we miss the view we miss the beauty of God and life gets covered in one big dark shady cloud. The challenge is to look again and see even in the pain, struggle and suffering of life the amazing beauty God has painted for us. Key Passage: Psalm 73

The Together Life

A Big Mess
Only the Lord can be in the business of bringing good out of evil, blessing generation after generation. The actions of David and his pursuit of Bathsheba and all the events that surrounded this big mess are one of the key stories of redemption in Scripture. Sometimes the enemy tricks us into thinking that the pain and mess of our lives are beyond repair - beyond help. We see ourselves as a mess, chaotic and without beauty. But that's not the way God sees us. In His mercy, His agenda is one of redemption and restoration - no matter who we are. He is the star breathing God, but He is also the author and artist of our lives, and the minute not only matters to Him - from the smallest cell to the largest galaxies - He cares for it all. Key Passage: Psalm 51

The Kiss of Peace
At Santa Margarita Community we desire to bring beauty to our community through celebrating our life together and blessing them with the presence of Christ in us...the Psalms describe that satisfied life like a tree that drinks its fill. A beautiful life is a believing life. The emotional intensity of Psalm 85 calls us to believe and to continue believing, to be converted and to be reformed. Do you believe today? Is that belief as fiery as it was on day one?

Cause Your Face to Shine on Us
At Santa Margarita Community we desire to bring beauty to our community through celebrating our life together and blessing them with the presence of Christ in us...the Psalms describe that satisfied life like a tree that drinks its fill. A beautiful life is a with God life. We cannot read the Psalms and think that life is about being moral so God will bless you. We learn that God's face is all that really matters in good times and in bad.

From the mouths of babes
At Santa Margarita Community we desire to bring beauty to our community through celebrating our life together and blessing them with the presence of Christ in us...the Psalms describe that satisfied life like a tree that drinks its fill. A beautiful and blessed life is a life of praise. Praise requires seeing God's grandeur and God's grace in and sometimes in spite of our circumstances. Praise calls us to value Jesus more than we do anything else this life has to offer.
