Happy Father's Day
Jesus reveals the true heart of God through the image of a loving father in the Parable of the Prodigal Son, showing us that God's love is marked by grace, dignity, authority, and restored identity. By contrasting this story with the account of the wild man in Mark 5, we see how even those who seem too far gone are never beyond the reach of the Father’s love. This sermon invites us to receive God's love, let go of distorted views of Him, and embrace our identity as His beloved children.

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.
