WEEK 7 - Wedding Party

When we think of the themes of God’s love throughout the Bible – the same thread runs right through. God was always after a Bride called Israel who was always wayward and stubborn and would not walk all the way down the aisle of commitment. When Christ came to the earth, the 1st miracle that mentions him ‘revealing his glory’ was when he turned a lot of water into a lot of wine. This seemingly irresponsible act of joy reminded the earth that the Bridegroom was getting ready for the wedding. At the end of the Bible, we read of the New Jerusalem, the Bride, the city of God descending to earth head down and we are described as being beautifully dressed for Him. Glorious!

CREATE AMORE

The 1st thing that most people long for in life is love; the most famous songs are about love and let’s be honest - love stories with great endings are so deeply satisfying. As humans we are driven by the need to be located and loved by someone because it is built into our original design. Significance is what the world is looking for and the search ends when we are found in the Father through His Son. This part of the school has us looking at the compass we use in order to navigate through unchartered territories, with Christ always being our true North and us being our true selves. No one has ever loved us like He has and His covenantal grace allows us to mature in our capacity for loving both ourselves and others - as someone said: loved people love people. Being sustained from an eternal dimension, makes us candidates for creating healthy community where trust can grow. In this finale you can experience the reality of being loved by the greatest of all and in turn, be part of the closing act of the greatest love story on earth that ends with a Divine Duet inviting the whole world to their wedding.
