THE SPIRIT IS HERE!


There are ALL KINDS
Of bad things
In the world
Right now


The CORONA virus=the tragic death
Of George Floyd=and the
RIOTOUS RESPONSE


But we do have
The HOLY SPIRIT=
The Holy Spirit COMES TODAY
To each and every one
Of us-
That WANT to receive him


THE SPIRIT IS HERE!=
Receive the JOY OF GOD


“Again Jesus said=
'PEACE be with you'
As the Father
Has sent me
I am sending you'


And with that
He breathed on them
And said=
'RECEIVE the HOLY SPIRIT'” John 20:21-22


Have you ever felt
The JOY and hope of God
FLOWING through your body?


JOY like bursting into a
Dance or song=or the
RETURN of autumn football


PENTECOST OVERFLOWS
With joy like that=
The joy of Pentecost=
Can melt fear and division


THE SPIRIT IS HERE!
Receive the JOY


“Then I will go
To the altar of God=
To God-
MY JOY and delight” Psalm 43:4


“The prospect of the righteous
IS JOY=
But the hopes
Of the wicked
Come to nothing” Proverbs 10:28


WHAT is all this
Cause for JOY?=
John's sentence says it all=
The SPIRIT OF GOD
Is here with us


The FATHER is here
Jesus is here=
And the SPIRIT OF GOD
Is here


ALL=a CAUSE for JOY


The LIFE of the Spirit of GOD
BREAKS the barriers
Between humans
And allows a real relationship=
A REAL UNITY with God=
What we are longing for


It is the LIFE
OF THE CHURCH


“Create in me
A pure heart
O God=
And renew a STEADFAST SPIRIT
Within me” Psalm 51:10


“However as it is written=
'What no eye has seen
What no ear has heard
And what no human mind
Has conceived--------


The things God
Has prepared for those
Who love him--------'


These are the things
God has revealed
To us by the SPIRIT” 1 Corinthians 2:9-10


Today is PENTECOST SUNDAY=
THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS HERE


Let us focus on
The things that UNITE US-
Not divide


In Jesus' name=and in the name=of the SPIRIT OF LIFE
