In this final part of the two-part series on "Heaven Is Other People," Jean-Marie will continue to explore the scriptural evidence we can gather to suggest that heaven is about the day-to-day experience, contributed by ourselves as well as others. As we learn to embrace our experiences in open-hearted and mindful ways, we will not only benefit from their uplifting impact but also learn to break fr...

When going through difficult times, it is easy to slide into a downward spiral of negativity, seeing the world as a harsh and unforgiving place. However, what if heaven were other people? What if all it took is a shift in perception and attitude to create heaven on earth? This Sunday, Jean-Marie discusses the Teachings that we have been given over hundreds and thousands of years that point to the...

Enjoy this special and contemplative Ash Wednesday service with uplifting music and inspirational readings to ring in the Lenten season. Jean-Marie briefly talks about the meaning of Lent based on some of Jesus Christ's foundational teachings on (spiritual) fasting, including a metaphysical interpretation as to the teaching's application in our daily lives.

Valentine's Day is the perfect opportunity for us to ask ourselves what the root of our Love is. While many are focused on the celebration of the traditional partnership of romantic lovers, others may find themselves seeking Love in a much broader, unconditional way. Jean-Marie asks the question "Will you be mine?" not only in the sense of being a good neighbor but also much more introspectively,...

For millennia, humankind has chosen to engage in ceremony and ritual, many of which have passed the test of time. What may seem different or even odd to some brings much meaning to others. Through ritual and ceremony, we are able to engage with the more subtle energies in our lives, and it is not uncommon to find deep inner Peace when doing so. Jean-Marie expands on the idea of using ceremony and...

When it comes to the topic of Prosperity, the Gospel story of the Feeding of the 5,000 (Matthew 14:13-21), is likely to be one of the most popular stories to be used as the basis of explaining how, in God Abundance, we do not ever have to worry about any lack. However, what if the Potential is available but we fail to recognize it? What can we do to ensure we do not go hungry even though we are co...

Exactly 70 years ago, on January 24, 1951, Unity Fort Worth was incorporated, led by Rev. Ruth Johnson, a direct student and protégé of Unity co-founder Charles Fillmore.  In this service, we celebrate 70 years of promoting and applying a positive and uplifting approach to Christianity and other religions and spiritual thought in the greater Fort Worth area, inspiring many other Unity and New Thou...

Inspired by the Gospel of John (14:6), "I am the way, and the truth, and the life," Jean-Marie will unpack some of the central Teachings of Jesus Christ expressed in this and following verses while applying it to our daily lives today. Contrary to traditional interpretation, Jesus Christ's instructions were directed to all of us, expressing our own Divinity by his example. What can we learn from t...

With recent events in mind, Jean-Marie will address the challenging task of loving "thy enemy," as Jesus Christ commanded. How can we love when every fiber of our being is repulsed by the behavior we witness? What can we do to truly embrace Jesus Christ's number one commandment to not only love one another but our enemy as well? Website:  UnityFortWorth.org Facebook:  Facebook.com/unityFW YouTube:...

In conclusion to the creative process, initiated by the Burning Bowl Ceremony on New Year's Eve, we are holding the White Stone Ceremony this Sunday to pick up our "new name." Rev. Jean-Marie will elaborate on John's symbolism in Revelation 2:17, to unveil the relevance of the white stone and what it means for us to receive our (hidden) "new name."  Gather a white stone and a writing instrument of...

Two millennia ago, Jesus Christ was credited with saying “You are the Light of the World." This phrase was not limited to only a few but meant for each and every person in attendance. Yet, after all these years, we still endeavor to hide our Light from the World. This Sunday, Russell Jackman, our ministerial intern, reflects on how we can more deeply see God in and as ourselves and in and as one a...

As we are approaching the end of 2020, we are giving ourselves a chance to release what no longer serves us. With every release there is an opportunity to forgive, the letting go of the false for the Truth. This meaningful action of letting go prepares us for the next ceremony (White Stone), when we pick up our new name for 2021, a ritual of cleansing and reimagining for the next year. Website:  U...

This year's Christmas Eve Candlelight Service was held outdoors in our Peace Garden to allow for safe social distancing. Even though the environment might have been different, the carols, readings, and focus on the 12 Powers continued to reflect tradition. The serene ambience thanks to our Christmas decoration light, the lumineria, and the 12 Power candles allowed for a unique experience.  Website...

For this fourth Advent, Rev. Jean-Marie reflects on the topic of Joy and how the Christmas story of the birth of Jesus Christ offers a direct pathway to a joyful life no matter what the circumstance. Beyond the joy of the Savior being born, we can learn to save ourselves by recognizing the many opportunities with which we are gifted every day to allow true Joy to arise in our hearts and minds. Web...

For the third Advent, Rev. Jean-Marie is approaching the topic of Love, which is always in the air, or otherwise considered in the ether. Once we recognize that Love is always around us, we realize our ability to always use it, whenever we can think of it.

For the second Advent, Rev. Jean-Marie recognizes Paul's writings regarding how we can find Peace in Christ Jesus as a symbol of our own unfolding. Similarly, we can learn from the Buddhist teachings how entering a greater level of depth beyond all understanding leads to a powerful awakening of our Divine Self.

For this first Advent, Rev. Jean-Marie explores the idea of having Faith in our own Divinity as part of our journey toward our spiritual awakening and Peace. Using the Christmas story, the characters and their contributions are broken down by their symbolism to make them applicable to our daily lives now. As we approach Christmas, the revelation of our God Expression is near. Website: UnityFortWor...

The idea of a radical practice is not new. However, what about if we allowed ourselves to be radically grateful around this special time around Thanksgiving.  Join us this Sunday for when Rev. Jean-Marie addresses the opportunity to be radically grateful even if we don't fee like it. You certainly deserve it. Website: UnityFortWorth.org Facebook: Facebook.com/unityFW YouTube: YouTube.com/UnityFort...

Leading up to Thanksgiving, the practice of Gratitude is on many minds. However, sometimes, such a practice can be difficult to maintain when things appear to look rather bleak.  This Sunday, Rev. Jean-Marie addresses how the inspiration for being grateful in our lives has been part of many religious and spiritual practices, backed by psychological research. Website: UnityFortWorth.org Facebook: F...

With everything that is going on, it is necessary to remember the basic teachings, not only those of Unity but those of many spiritual paths. Even contrary to current perceptions, a big heart can always heal if you let it. It is the "if you let it" part that is what matters.

Based on a Zen Buddhist proverb, this Sunday's message considers the many opportunities offered in life to embrace the spiritual work for which many of us signed up. What if what appears to be an obstacle turns out to be the blessing we sought all along?

Over the past seven months, our music team has put together some magical music from the safety of their homes.

Ever said, “That’s not my cup of tea?” Generally, what we are saying when something isn’t our “cup of tea” is that it’s not really our passion, or skill, or something not to our liking. Yet tea is a metaphor for our spiritual journey, and has an uncanny ability to strengthen one’s spirituality and even gladden the heart. Thich Nhat Hanh, the Cambodian Buddhist monk said, “We are most real when we...

The idea of coming home is one of ancient times. Whether it is the emotional and physical experience of coming home or the spiritual sense of returning to the Source, many are driven by the home-coming idea and often spend a lifetime seeking the path that finally leads to one's desired destination. This Sunday, Rev. Jean-Marie explores the desire to come home and how it is relevant for our spiritu...
