A Mystical Journey of Love and Union

The Bride of Christ

This series explores the biblical imagery of the Church as the Bride of Christ, tracing the betrothal, anticipation, and coming union with the Bridegroom. Moving beyond fear and duty, it invites believers into a life motivated by love, creativity, and joyful anticipation of Christ’s return.

This Series Includes:

Mystical Union

Getting Ready for the Big Day

Getting Ready for the Big Day

The deepest hope of the Christian soul is not escape, but union—the  eternal wedding of heaven and earth, the soul and Christ, the Bride and  the Bridegroom.

Getting Ready for the Big Day

Getting Ready for the Big Day

Getting Ready for the Big Day

The life of faith is a time of preparation, like a bride adorning  herself. Our daily choices, prayers, and acts of love are part of  trimming our lamps, keeping our garments clean, and awaiting the joyful  arrival of the Bridegroom.

Forsaking All Others

Getting Ready for the Big Day

Hope in a Broken World

The covenant of marriage means exclusivity. To belong to Christ is to  let go of rival loves and false gods, to forsake all others and cling to  Him alone. Only love can endure, and when it fills the soul, it stirs creativity.

Hope in a Broken World

The waiting is not without pain. We live in exile, surrounded by a world  of sorrow and brokenness. Yet hope sustains us—not a temporal hope, but  the eternal hope of the Bridegroom’s return, which steadies the soul in  suffering.

The Wedding Feast

Hope in a Broken World

The Wedding Feast

The wedding feast of  the Lamb is the culmination of all longing and the joy of all creation.  Here, the Father Himself rises to bless the Bride, not for her  accomplishments but for her love. She has become one with Christ, and  the joy of union is without end.
