Yet, over time any social group- weather it is family, community or work- the lack of connection takes its toll as those social groups that lack connection begin to falter or fall a part. This series will begin by trying to explain why connection is important and what its role is for creating legacy.

As I Have Forgiven You - John Lusk 1-29-17
This is the final installment in the three part series, "As I Have Loved You..." We will focus on the most powerful and appreciated dimension of Jesus love for us--his forgiveness.
As I Have Taught You - John Lusk 1-22-17
Jesus loved his disciples in a way the world had never known. In this series, we are looking at some of the primary ways Jesus expressed that love. This week's lesson will focus on an often overlooked dimension of Jesus love: his passion and persistence to teach his followers...and us as well.
As I Have Served You - John Lusk 1-15-2017
This is the first in a three part series of lessons on the theme of, "As I Have Loved You." Each week we will examine a different dimension of how Jesus loved his disciples and how he has loved us. This first lesson will be a refreshing look at how Jesus came to serve his followers.
First things first 2017
The most important thing doesn’t always get the first priority – but it should. What will it take to stop being distracted by the urgent and start focusing on the meaningful? Today, let’s decide to put First Things First.
This message teaches about how to prioritize your day, week, month, and year with practical ways to put God first.
The gift of love, Hans Rasmussen
We are learning about accepting, experiencing, and sharing God’s gift of love. #OurDenverChurch Watch the video at
You, Me and the Christmas Tree - Rob Ferry 12-11-16
It’s that time of year when many are picking and buying Christmas trees. And although you may not realize it at first, there is much you have in common with a Christmas tree. In this lesson you will learn that what you do for a tree, God does for you. But, oh, so much better!
Hold on christmas, we aren’t done with thanksgiving yet! - Rob Ferry 11-27-16
The time for kids to dress up like Pilgrims and the Charlie Brown television special to air once again has come and gone. Thanksgiving is behind us. But should it be? The pressure to begin preparing for Christmas is already mounting - the shopping, the decorating, the making of plans for traveling or hosting. But what if we lingered a little longer and pondered a bit more on the heart of Thanksgiving before dodging headlong into Christmas? What might we learn? How might we benefit? And how might an enhanced level of gratitude serve you well though the Christmas season? Listen in to find out.
The Gift of Hope, Hans Rasmussen 11-26-16
This document summarizes key passages from the Bible about hope. It discusses:
1) The hope of the past, referencing prophecies from Isaiah about a coming Messiah who would bring light and peace.
2) The hope of the present, recounting the story of the Annunciation from Luke where the angel Gabriel tells Mary she will conceive and give birth to Jesus.
3) The hope of the future, citing Romans that through faith in Jesus we have hope of salvation even for things not yet seen.

Is Lucid Dreaming Dangerous? Risks and Benefits!
Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.

Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...
This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.
Lição 12: João 15 a 17 – O Espírito Santo e a Oração Sacerdotal | 2° Trimestr...
Esta lição é uma oportunidade para discutirmos um assunto multo mal interpretado no contexto cristão, que é o fato de algumas pessoas pensarem que o conhecer Jesus é ter a nossa vida mudada em todas as áreas, como se Deus tivesse o dever de transportar-nos deste mundo para um outro mundo onde muitas coisas maravilhosas que desejamos seriam reais. No entanto, a nossa fé não nos tira do mundo após nos convertermos; ao invés disso, permanecemos vivendo sob as mesmas circunstâncias. O propósito de Deus não é nos tirar do mundo, mas nos livrar das ações do maligno (Jo 17.15), Sendo assim, a vida eterna não significa estar fora da realidade deste mundo, mas conhecer o único Deus verdadeiro (Jo 17.3).

Irmão X provides a shrewd way of describing the subtleties and weaknesses that can jeopardize our intentions, making us more attentive and vigilant by providing us with his wise pages, reminding us between the lines of the Master's words: "Pray and watch."
