THE HOLY SPIRIT BIRTHS A NEW HUMANITY

"Motherland" by Robin Amanda (5' by 4' acrylic)

This piece touches upon the idea of the Land being our Mother, the relationship we have with her, the ache people feel for their homeland, the excitement and aliveness in creation; we are of Earth, made of the same dirt, just like we are of God.

This Sunday - August 30: THE HOLY SPIRIT BIRTHS A NEW HUMANITY

Acts 2:42-47

In this final sermon of our Holy Spirit series, we trace the Spirit through Scripture as the one who labors us into new life — from Genesis' breath over the waters, to Jesus telling Nicodemus that no one enters the kingdom without being born again (John 3), to Isaiah's God who "cries out like a woman in labor" (Isaiah 42), to the risen Christ declaring, "Behold, I am making all things new."

"A Blessing for the Life We Didn't Choose" by Kate Bowler

Blessed are we in the tender place between curiosity and dread,
We who wonder how to be whole,
when dreams have disappeared and part of us with them,
where mastery, control, determination, bootstrapping, and grit,
are consigned to the realm of before (where most of the world lives),
in the fever dream that promises infinite choices, unlimited progress, best life now.
Blessed are we in the after, forced into stories we never would have written.
Far outside of answers to questions we even know to ask.
God, show us a glimmer of possibility in this new constraint,
that small truths will be given back to us.
We are held.
We are safe.
We are loved.
We are loved.
We are loved.

This Sunday, August 23, 2026: THE HOLY SPIRIT PLUNDERS THE HOUSE
Acts 2:21 - 'Then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.' and Mark 3:20-35

This Sunday we will explore a sometimes scary topic related to the Holy Spirit: demons, and deliverance. Let's take a trauma-informed look at what God's Spirit actually delivers us from. Our bodies are not made of doors for malevolent spirits to come and go if we aren't careful. But all of us sometimes feel pressured to absorb lies about ourselves and we start performing: fake happiness, fake righteousness, fake friendships, built to protect a self we don't trust anyone to meet. Jesus doesn't come to instill fear because he has bound the strong man and He calls that false voice out of us, and invites us back into our own.
