Do you have a special place where you sense the nearness of God? Maybe it’s on the water or in the mountains. Perhaps that special place is a quiet corner and a comfortable chair in your home. Celtic Christians of the Early Middle Ages called these locations “Thin Places.” They are settings where we sense God’s presence touching our earthly reality. 1 Peter 2:1-12 says the church is a place where Heaven and earth overlap. We are a ‘thin people!’ Heaven and earth overlap as “all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander” (1 Peter 2:1) is replaced with God’s mercy in our hearts toward others (1 Peter 2:10).
Can you be a “Thin Place” in your home, workplace, or neighborhood today?
If you missed Sunday's message, you can listen to it here or watch the entire worship service on our YouTube channel.
Join us next time as
our “Thin Places” series continues with a look at “Soul Friendships.”
Yours for Christ,
Pastor Steve
