Taste & See | Smell | Week 2

What if your body isn't a problem to fix but a gift to receive? In this message from our series "Taste and See: Loving God with All Five of Your Senses," Matt turns to the strangest sense of all — smell — and finds it everywhere in Scripture: a God with a "long nose" of patience, a whole barbecue's worth of sacrifice rising as "an aroma pleasing to the Lord," and our most honest prayers gathered like incense into golden bowls at the center of the universe. By way of Pema Chödrön, Ezra Klein, and the science of the nervous system, we sit with a harder truth — that understanding our pain won't heal it, but learning to feel it, with tenderness, just might. The good news underneath it all: God accepts you, your relationship can be repaired, and even a prayer as raw as "I've never believed in you" smells good to him. Join us Sundays on the Peninsula.
