When Mystics Get it Wrong - The Jesus Trip

About this sermon

Returning to a Christ-Centered Mysticism ... The rich contemplative tradition of Christian mysticism - the practice of the presence of God - has in many ways been forgotten. But in other ways it is finding great resurgence in the church today through renewal and worship movements. A renewed value on intimacy and personal experience with God is growing. But together with this beautiful focus, we can learn to avoid certain pitfalls common to mystical, charismatic types. This week, John Crowder explains how the practice of the presence of God (which should be the hallmark of the Christian life), can subtly lose it’s Gospel foundation. The practice of God’s presence is not about “getting” the presence of God. It is about enjoying, resonating and becoming aware of a continual, unbroken union with God that is already ours thanks to Jesus.
