Learning from the Masters | The Power of One
This message centers on the idea that real change begins with one person choosing love in action, using the life of Mother Teresa as a model. It highlights her journey from teacher to servant of the poor and emphasizes six key lessons: serve a higher purpose, choose love through action, begin with those closest to you, do small things with great love, nurture your inner spiritual life, and slow down to bring kindness into everyday moments. Ultimately, the message teaches that transforming the world doesn’t require grand gestures—just consistent, compassionate actions, starting at home, where even the smallest act of love can create a ripple effect.1.

Living With Presence in a Chaotic and Changing World | The Peace That Moves the World
Rev. Wendy Craig-Purcell's message shifts the focus from using spiritual presence as a personal survival tactic to wielding it as a dynamic, outward force for global change. By acting as a "gyroscope" that remains level amidst the waves, we move from passive peace to Applied Spirituality, Radical Compassion, and Conscious Co-creation. Ultimately, it challenges us to recognize that our internal state is a public contribution, proving that a single stable presence can "change the temperature" of a chaotic room and stabilize the world around us.Website: http://www.theunitycenter.net Download Our New App: https://theunitycenter.churchcenter.com/setupAsk Yourself This: https://www.amazon.com/Ask-Yourself-This-Questions-Expand/dp/087159336XSubscribe to our YouTube channel: http://bit.ly/2hBqp7F Purchase Lesson Series Packages: https://theunitycenter.net/sunday-series-packagesListen to our Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6YJWcAhQUnkEHFqBXQmz1G

Living With Presence in a Chaotic and Changing World | Future-Proofing Your Faith
Rev. Wendy Craig-Purcell's message "Future-Proofing Your Faith" explores how to maintain spiritual presence and peace in a volatile, changing world by transitioning from a fragile, dogmatic belief system to an "anti-fragile" and evolving faith. Using the metaphor of a trapeze artist in mid-air, the message encourages embracing the "chaos" of shifting cultural and personal structures as necessary labor pains for a higher level of consciousness. By prioritizing "holy curiosity" over static certainty and integrating reason with spirituality, individuals can cultivate a "liquid" faith that remains resilient and expansive regardless of the challenges the 21st century presents.Website: http://www.theunitycenter.net Download Our New App: https://theunitycenter.churchcenter.com/setupAsk Yourself This: https://www.amazon.com/Ask-Yourself-This-Questions-Expand/dp/087159336XSubscribe to our YouTube channel: http://bit.ly/2hBqp7F Purchase Lesson Series Packages: https://theunitycenter.net/sunday-series-packagesListen to our Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6YJWcAhQUnkEHFqBXQmz1G

Living With Presence in a Chaotic and Changing World | The Soul's Firewall
Rev. Wendy Craig-Purcell's talk teaches that in a chaotic, digitally saturated world, our attention acts as a “soul’s firewall,” filtering what we allow into our consciousness and protecting our inner peace. Excessive digital consumption can fragment attention, weaken real relationships, and contribute to loneliness, so living with presence requires intentional digital boundaries and mindful use of technology. By consciously directing our attention and practicing discernment—through habits like reducing notifications and taking regular breaks from screens—we become the gatekeepers of our own peace.Website: http://www.theunitycenter.net Download Our New App: https://theunitycenter.churchcenter.com/setupAsk Yourself This: https://www.amazon.com/Ask-Yourself-This-Questions-Expand/dp/087159336XSubscribe to our YouTube channel: http://bit.ly/2hBqp7F Purchase Lesson Series Packages: https://theunitycenter.net/sunday-series-packagesListen to our Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6YJWcAhQUnkEHFqBXQmz1G

Living With Presence in a Chaotic and Changing World | The Sovereignty of Stillness
Rev. Wendy Craig-Purcell's message draws on themes from congregational input and global stress research. This message reframes peace not as a luxury but as a biological and spiritual necessity, reminding us that we don’t go to peace—we come from it. Using metaphors like the eye of a hurricane and a submarine beneath stormy waters, it teaches that our divine center remains steady even when life feels overwhelming. Through practices like mindful pauses, morning intention, and conscious response, we reclaim stillness as an act of spiritual authority and strength in a speeding world.Website: http://www.theunitycenter.net Download Our New App: https://theunitycenter.churchcenter.com/setupAsk Yourself This: https://www.amazon.com/Ask-Yourself-This-Questions-Expand/dp/087159336XSubscribe to our YouTube channel: http://bit.ly/2hBqp7F Purchase Lesson Series Packages: https://theunitycenter.net/sunday-series-packagesListen to our Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6YJWcAhQUnkEHFqBXQmz1G

Rev. Wendy Craig-Purcell's talk builds on last week’s commitment to “Live Out Loud” by offering a clear spiritual instruction manual for turning up our light and making our inner potential visible. Drawing on Ernest Holmes, Charles Fillmore, and others, it teaches that manifestation is primarily a mental practice—supported by a five-step process called BE BIG: Become aware of a bigger reality, Embody trust in the Law, Be bold in speaking your word, Imagine yourself being big for God, and Go forth in practical action. By choosing our thoughts, imagination, and actions intentionally, we move from inner awareness to outer radiance and consciously choose to live in the light rather than the dark.Website: http://www.theunitycenter.net Download Our New App: https://theunitycenter.churchcenter.com/setupAsk Yourself This: https://www.amazon.com/Ask-Yourself-This-Questions-Expand/dp/087159336XSubscribe to our YouTube channel: http://bit.ly/2hBqp7F Purchase Lesson Series Packages: https://theunitycenter.net/sunday-series-packagesListen to our Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6YJWcAhQUnkEHFqBXQmz1G

Live Out Loud | Say Yes!
Today, Rev. Wendy Craig-Purcell's message "Live Out Loud" reframes New Year’s resolutions as a spiritual commitment to authenticity, courage, and wholehearted expression rather than self-improvement projects. Drawing on teachings from Ernest Holmes, Charles Fillmore, and poets like Rumi, it teaches that we are designed for continual expansion and feel “divine discontent” when we aim too small. The invitation is clear: notice life’s nudges, aim higher, and consciously RSVP “yes” to becoming a greater expression of God and a catalyst for change.

Inner Radiance A Journey Through Advent; Peace: The Stillness of Being
Today, Rev. Wendy Craig-Purcell’s Advent message invites us into an inner journey of awakening, where Peace is understood not as the absence of problems but as a deep spiritual stillness that remains steady even amid chaos. Using the metaphor of “no room at the inn,” she illustrates how our crowded minds—filled with stress, worry, and seasonal pressures—leave little space for the sacred presence of peace within.

The Wisdom Traditions: The Mystical Heart of Christianity
Rev. Wendy Craig-Purcell explores the mystical currents within Christianity, emphasizing the difference between the historical Jesus and the universal Christ Consciousness—the divine potential within everyone—which aligns with Unity's focus on inner experience. It highlights how contemplative practices like Centering Prayer and Lectio Divina offer a pathway to direct spiritual encounter rather than reliance on dogma or belief alone.

Integral Spirituality: Cleaning Up
Today, Rev. Wendy Craig-Purcell shares about Integral Theory, “cleaning up” is the process of confronting the unconscious shadow—the parts of ourselves we’ve denied, rejected, or repressed. By bringing these wounds and limiting patterns into the light through practices like shadow work, therapy, and self-reflection, we stop projecting them onto others and take responsibility for our healing. This integration frees us to live with greater authenticity, wholeness, and spiritual depth, allowing our awakening to be grounded and complete.Website: http://www.theunitycenter.net Download Our New App: https://theunitycenter.churchcenter.com/setupAsk Yourself This: https://www.amazon.com/Ask-Yourself-This-Questions-Expand/dp/087159336XSubscribe to our YouTube channel: http://bit.ly/2hBqp7F Purchase Lesson Series Packages: https://theunitycenter.net/sunday-series-packagesListen to our Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6YJWcAhQUnkEHFqBXQmz1G
