What do you do when life leaves you confused, discouraged, or searching for answers?

In this week’s message from Luke 24, we walked alongside the disciples as Jesus opened their minds to understand the Scriptures before His ascension into heaven. What once seemed confusing suddenly became clear: His suffering, resurrection, forgiveness, and promise of salvation had been God’s plan from the very beginning.

We reflected on the significance of the number 40 throughout Scripture — from the flood, to Moses on Mount Sinai, to Israel wandering in the wilderness, to Jesus fasting in the desert, and finally the 40 days between Jesus’ resurrection and ascension. In the Bible, 40 often represents preparation, testing, transformation, and the beginning of something new.

Before ascending into heaven, Jesus spent 40 days preparing His disciples — opening their minds, strengthening their faith, and getting them ready for what was coming next.

Together we pray this simple prayer: “Lord, open my mind.”

And now, as we move toward Pentecost Sunday, we remember that the story doesn’t end with the ascension. The Holy Spirit is coming. The disciples who once waited in uncertainty would soon be filled with boldness, power, and purpose.

Join us this coming Sunday at 9am and 11am as we celebrate Pentecost — the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and the birth of the Church. Come expecting worship, renewal, and a fresh reminder that God is still moving today.

Beginning this Sunday, May 17, 2026, our 11:00 AM Traditional Worship Service will not be held in our historic Sanctuary. Due to structural concerns involving the roof and walls in that area of the church, all worship services will be held in the Fellowship Hall moving forward, pending further review of the Sanctuary’s repair needs.

This decision comes following the strong recommendation and guidance of our building engineering partner, Bennett Preservation Engineering, which has been investigating the structural repair needs of our bell towers and Sanctuary roof.

As we prepare to step out of the Sanctuary temporarily and into a new season, we are reminded that the Church has never been about a building — it has always been about God’s people. While the location may change, our mission remains the same.

We invite you to join us this Sunday at either our 9:00 AM or 11:00 AM Worship Service as we gather together in worship, reflect on God’s faithfulness, and continue moving forward in faith as one church family. More details regarding the Sanctuary and building needs will be shared as soon as possible.

Thank you for your prayers, support, and continued commitment to the ministry of Saint Paul. Watch the full video from Rev. Jim for all the details. https://vimeo.com/1192659507?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci

Jesus tells His disciples: “I will not leave you orphaned; I am coming to you.” — John 14:18.

In this Sunday’s message, Rev. Jim shared the powerful promises found in John 14 - a passage often heard at funerals, but one with a message of hope, assurance, and faithful living for Christians every day.

What does God require of us as followers of Christ?
And what promise does He give to those who walk faithfully with Him?

Rev. Jim reminds us that obedience to Christ is not about obligation, but love — and that God never leaves His people alone. Through the gift of the Holy Spirit, we are guided, strengthened, and assured of His presence forever.

Watch this week’s sermon and be encouraged by the truth and promise of God’s Word. www.stpaulgoldsboro.org/worship-sermons
