Soma Austin Community Church

In the life, death and resurrection of Jesus we see a theme of renewal and restoration developing.  This idea of renewal is actually something that I believe exists deeply within us as desires for peace, joy, reconciliation, wholeness, and fullness of life.  Many of us feel that there is more to this life than what we presently experience.  In truth, we long for the world that we were made by our Creator for.

At the fall of man, several relationships were severed or distorted.  Internally man was filled with guilt and shame.  Relationally discord developed between husband and wife, and then with others.  The creation around us also suffers and we feel that tension.  And our access to God was broken off when man was banished from the garden.  And lastly, death came.

All of those things are renewed through Jesus and we now get to participate with Jesus in progressively renewing those things in our hearts and lives and in the hearts and lives of others.

Over the next several weeks we will discuss the Soma Austin community as it experiences renewal and in growing as communities of renewal.  We will start off with our own personal renewal and move on from there into our community, and the world around us.

We would love to have you join us on Sunday mornings at 10:30am at The Hideout Coffeehouse and Theatre in downtown Austin at 7th and Congress Avenue.  Click here for more information on our Sunday morning gatherings.

The next several weeks will hopefully be a time of personal and community renewal.  We hope you can join us.
