We begin a new series called “With the Holy Spirit.” In it, we will spend 4 weeks looking at the role of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Our first message is called “Baptized in the Spirit.” Today we reflect on the baptism of Jesus by John and the role of the Holy Spirit.
Our scripture readings come from Genesis 1:1-5; Acts 19:1-7; and Mark 1:4-11.
I will be on vacation next Sunday, so there will be no new sermon audio.
We continue our Advent and Christmas series called “Christmas Feelings.” In it, we will be looking at the familiar feelings that Christmas brings. Our next message is called “Joy of Advent.” We reflect on the feelings of joy that we get as we prepare our hearts for the miracle of Christmas.
Our scripture readings come from Isaiah 61:1-4, 8-11; 1 Thessalonians 5:16-24; and John 1:6-8, 19-28.
Today’s message is the last in our Christmas Spirit series and covers the “Spirit of Acceptance.” What can we learn from the acceptance of the Holy Spirit? What about the acceptance of the early disciples? How can we practice God’s radical love? Keep the Spirit of Christmas with you all through the year.
Today we explore a familiar story in “Gift of the Spirit.” Do we understand that the Spirit is a gift for you and me? How do you experience the Holy Spirit? Do you listen for it? These are the Gifts of the Season.
As we continue in our Advent Experience we come to “Feel: The Path Ahead.” John echoes the words of Isaiah in his call to action. Do we answer that call? Do we get distracted? How do we make a path? Explore Christ in an Advent experience!
