The Church is Spirit Led

Sometimes this leading takes us out into the world, to talk with folks we normally don’t talk to. Maybe it’s the homeless man who sits at the corner. The person who supports the candidate you admittedly oppose. Maybe it’s the person who seems to be your exact opposite.

The Call of Pentecost

Pentecost reminds us that we are enough. You are enough. the church is enough. We have been prepared even as we continue to grow. Pentecost calls us to take all that we are, all that we have learned, all that God has made us and to have courage, and hope, and creativity, and to give it wings.

Making it Through

But we did. The church survived the persecution, its own splintering, its failure to live into the mission. Again and again the Spirit comes as advocate, as counselor, as vision giver, as encouragement and one who walks along, to bring us life, to renew life, to offer courage, to remind us again and again that this moment is not the end.

Church, this moment is not the end.
