My dear Trinity Methodist Church Family and Friends, ๐๏ธ
Here is a question I have been turning over in my heart: If the Holy Spirit quietly withdrew from many churches todayโฆ would we even notice?
We have learned to continue with programs, activities, and busy schedules. We have technology, sound systems, and live streams. But sometimes, without even realizing it, we start trusting our own strength more than God's presence.
This Sunday is Pentecost Sunday. It is not just another day on the church calendar. It is the birthday of the Church. It is the day when frightened disciples hiding behind locked doors were suddenly filled with power from heaven. They became bold. They became alive. Three thousand people came to Christ in a single day.
And here is the beautiful truth: what happened then is not just a story. It is a promise. Long before Pentecost, God spoke through the prophet Joel: "I will pour out my Spirit on all people." Not just on pastors. Not just on the "super spiritual." But on sons and daughters. On young and old. On you.
This Sunday, we are going to pause and ask a simple but honest prayer: "Lord, pour it out again."
We live in a world that is tired, anxious, and divided. Families are breaking apart. Anger fills our screens. Many people have money but no peace. Success but no joy. Connections online but emptiness inside. The problem is not political or social. The problem is spiritual. And the answer has always been the same: the Holy Spirit.
So do not treat the Holy Spirit like a forgotten guest. Do not act like He belongs only to the old days or to someone else's church. He is God's gift for today. For you. For us.
This Sunday, we will sing a song that is not just a song. It is a prayer. The lyrics say, "Pour it out, pour it out, let a fresh wind blow." We are not asking God to do something new. We are asking Him to do again what He has always done: pour out His Spirit on hungry hearts.
Come with an open heart. Come dry. Come tired. Come honestly. Just come.
Please note: Adult Sunday School and Children's Sunday School are on summer vacation until September 13. Just worship. Just prayer. Just open hearts before God.
Join us this Sunday at 9:00 AM in person or live on Facebook or YouTube (Trinity Methodist Church - Lomira, WI).
Do not miss this day. The wind of God is still blowing. Let us stand in it together.
In His Power,
Rev. Mulongo Mpoyo
