HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHURCH!
This festival day of Pentecost marks fifty days since Easter/Resurrection Day, and every year we remember what happened to Jesus’ followers after He ascended into Heaven and empowered them with His Holy Spirit. This final week of our “Building Blocks” sermon series considers a very important lesson for us from the early church: one of the most important things we can do is to let the Spirit move. Being moved by the Spirit means we have to surrender our will; our plans; our ideas of what is right and let God work and trust that God is in fact moving us somewhere. What does this look like, especially in a church like the Presbyterians who do not show as many visible and charismatic signs of the Spirit? Where might the Spirit be moving the church into an unknown future?
