Cosmic Harmonies: Arranging the Parts (Jamie Fredricks, 2nd April 2023)

On Palm Sunday Jamie shared the final message in our ‘Soul Music’ series, looking at Worship as a reality of life. 

Regardless of whether we identify as 'religious' or not, everyone puts faith in something... everyone worships something. These are not questions of metaphysics or belief, but of hierarchy. What do we give time and attention to? In what order? How do we decide between competing needs? What, for us, is 'ultimate'?

Christian spirituality asks us whether the object of our worship ('worth-ship') is 'worthy' of it: Can it bear the 'weight' of our worship? Will it satisfy... or prove inadequate, hollow, or disappointing?
Jamie reflected on the good order that God has placed in Creation, and suggested that many of our stresses, strains and anxieties arise from living lives in conflict with that order.

In a world where so many struggle with truth, meaning, where many cannot find perspective or balance, it is vital to reflect on how God has ordered the Creation; And ask if we are living lives in harmony with the 'Cosmic Music'.
