This Sunday we focus on the Spirit of God, called the Holy Spirit. "Holy" because we are in the spiritual context and "of God" because we are understanding the way in which the Creator and Source of life came to the world and gave the world the "Holy Spirit" to reach its dreams and goals.
It is this Holy Spirit, the presence and power of God that comes to us and lives within us and empowers us to live our best for ourselves and for each other. God gave us the Holy Spirit for important reasons:
- Help us feel closer to God-its a feeling thing and from the heart. (John 14:25-27)
- Help us have the power and energy to go out into new and different places and experiences and share-live our faith. (Matthew 28:18-20)
- Make good on Christ's promise to never leave us as orphans and lonely. (John 14:15-18)
Watch this interesting and wise interview with the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Rowan Williams about the Holy Spirit.
Blessings to you. Fill your life with God; Ask and Believe.
Rev. Bill
