Today we enter into the wonderful celebration of Pentecost. The birth of the church. The day and season we celebrate and remember the fulfillment of the promise given to us through Christ in the baptism of the Holy Spirit. What does this mean though? What does this look like? That is what we are going…
Jesus is with us. Through the Spirit of God. Jesus is with us. Right here right now. This is our promised hope as children of Easter, children of the resurrection, and children of God. We are not left as orphans, but He has come for us. He has come for us and is with us,…
