Pentecost service with Chief Apostle Schroeder
Opening hymn: Should I not to God be singing 61NEH
Text: Acts 2:4
Hymn after text:
Dear brothers and sisters
READING:
Romans 8:
People were gathered at Pentecost. The Holy spirit have different gifts. Healing, speaking in tongues etc.
Gods purpose was to reinforce that his apostles were truly chosen.
The gifts if the Holy spirit are not essential to salvation. It is the Holy sealing that reinforces our access to salvation through chikdhood in God.
Not all received these gifts of the Holy spirit.
This does not mean that other people cannot become children of God. By relating to God, we can become the children of God. We have the prerequisites to being firstlings.
That allows us the possibility to become children of God who enter the new creation.
We have faith that we have received the Holy spirit. Our faith in this firm belief is that we are sealed by the Holy spirit .
Our faith there for becomes important. It is important that we believe we are sealed. When there is faith, in the Holy spirit, we will allow ourselves to be lead by the Holy spirit . The Holy spirit says to us we have a father who loves us and wants to lead us into his Kingdon.
Jesus came and fulfilled his missing. Jesus cried Abba father. We also call out Abba father.
"You father cares for you. " The Holy spirit says. We then feel secure in this one of God . We then have a special composure that is lacking in Theis world. We remain calm in the tumultuous world.
We are lead to the understanding of the glory of God. The glory of God is revealed. Those to whom the glory of God has been revealed live different. Past experiences become immaterial. Accomplishments take second place.
The activity of God revealed itself.
The danger of the present is revealed. Event could mean distances from God. We don't want to be separated from God and our faith drives us to seek God and not be a footstep behind Jesus.
Remaining in the fellowship with God and intact becoming intimate with God Bec message a goal.
Those lead by the glory of God are joyful. That is a language different from what we experience
Distance from the past
Watchfulness in the present
Joy in the future.
That is a mindset.
Do we live in the same manner as Jesus loved? It's upto our free will to decide if we will love like Jesus. You have the capacity to live just like Jesus did but that can be exercised through your free will. You chosing.
When we love our neighbors, we want to share the treasure of Jesus Christ.
We want to speak the language of our neighbors like the Jews at that time.
Let me out special emphasis on our speaking our neighbors language. And preach Jesus to them. I don't mean actual languages. German, Spanish etc. Jesus didn't preach his word from heaven. He became man. Is suffered like men. He became man and " spoke their language" he was empathetic.
To learn a language, we need to listen. These days everyone want to talk. We must listen to our neighbors circumstances. Pure empathetic nature will open our hearts to them because they will say: she actually cares.
Let us speak the language of it neighbors because we want to share Jesus with them.
Salvation for the next generation. Our children are sealed when. They are young. We believe in this. The gift of the Holy spirit come in when the child believe . That's is where the problem is. Our young children are often not convinced of the seal of the Holy spirit and simply disappear when the are confirmed. How can we explain it in their language this Holy spirit? Demonizing then about life as it is now and how they live will not help. That's that something bad will happen if you don't believe. Do we give a code of conduct to the young? Will that work?
It's there for you to us to explain the importance of the Holy spirit to the next generation.
I said earlier, that an approach would be that the Holy spirit being composure.a strengthening of the inner man.
Our young people need to learn that this composure comes with the touch if the Holy spirit that allows us to live without condition, to have the voice of the hokysoeit guide us, work with God to bring the news of salvation to man kind. That the young can be a blessing to many. We must not neglect our next generation.
We must live and practice the Jesus life so that they can see Jesus in us. Are we composed? Can the young people see that we too live unconditionally? That we preach the gospel?
That is our task. To draw the young in
Noone is forced to walk with Jesus. We
We can not just stand aside and say that these are the circumstances of our time. We .UST not absolve ourselves from our responsibility.
We work on ourselves that we have the gift of the Holy spirit and cry ABBA FATHER I TRUST IN YOU
I REJOICE IN THE FUTURE.

DA John Kreil
Beloved in the Lord,
It's a wonderful feast to be a part of this Pentecost feast .
We are reminded of our own Pentecost. I am reminded of a member who was sealed. He was a mute. She. He was asked if he will be faithful, he answered with an enthusiastic nod. What was important here? No one heard his yea. We all saw his yes.
We all said yes. Let all see our yes. Let out yes to be just a sound. Our actions must show our yes.
Sometimes we were offended in the past. Let us forgive. The language spoken here is not the language of judgement. It's the language the of peace. Not revenge but reconciliation. The language to say I am sorry.
CHIEF APOSTLE
Our spoken yes must translate into a visible Yes.
ORCHESTRA
DA
We see and experience the power of the Holy spirit an Pentecost.
After sealing, development continues.
The fire of the Holy spirit can be seen through a metaphor of fire.
The people who performed the concert were spoken of as "being informed fire"
Do our youth burn for Jesus?
When I am in fire, I can ignite another. Let us be in fire. Our composure should fire up those around us into composure.
When an object acts on another, the other object will respond.
Let us create a movement for the Kingdon of God.
CHIEF APOSTLE
WE must look into ourselves as we prepare for the Holy communion. I am not here to give anyone a guilt conscious. I just want to ask: what have you done with the gift of the hoky spirit? Have you allowed it to grow?
Thus approach brings grace and a new start.
Holy communion is a feast of thankfulness.
We can visualise God as the creator. Jesus left his mark.
How do we see or envision the Holy spirit? Through his activity. Without the Holy spirit, we. Can hear eloquent speeches that are sadly, not the word of God.
We appreciate therefore, that God speaks to us.
Because God the Holy spirit is active, we experiences Jesus. And a part of the new creation and enter into fellow ship with God.
Let. Us come to God with the desire to do more, to being my neighbor s to Jesus. To help the next generation experience the power of the Holy spirit.
We must ask God to show us how to not lose the next generation. He will not pass us by
