Pentecost Sunday (Wear Red)
SERMON: The Spirit Poured Out
The waiting is over. In the upper room, the disciples had been praying and preparing, but now God moves. The Holy Spirit, promised by Jesus, is poured out in power, equipping the disciples to proclaim the Gospel in a way they never could on their own. The miracle of Pentecost isn’t just about the signs and wonders—it’s about God launching His Church into its mission. The same Spirit that fell on Pentecost is the Spirit that empowers us today, calling us to take the Gospel to every nation, tribe, and tongue.

SERMON The Spirit’s Power and Purpose
MAIN IDEA We cannot fulfill God’s mission in our own strength—we need the Holy Spirit. His presence guides us, His power emboldens us, and His purpose transforms hearts. When we rely on Him, we can share the Gospel with confidence, knowing He is always at work.

This Mother’s Day, let’s remember that the way we live our lives in the presence of our family, friends, coworkers, and culture can be a fragrant offering to God. Mary Magdalene, for example, demonstrated what sacrificial love for Jesus looked like by washing His feet with costly perfume despite the embarrassment and criticism she received from others. Let’s celebrate the women in our lives who serve others and remember that to worship Jesus extravagantly will cost us something. But in the end, the reward of a faithful life is worth it.
All are welcome to join us on Sunday, May 10, at 11:00 am.
Happy Mother's Day
