"Jesus said, 'The Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and make you remember all that I have told you.'" - John 14:26 (Good News)
The Holy Spirit is difficult to explain. You can't physically see him, but you think you see his influence everywhere. We are told that he resides in all of us, but we may not always know how and when he acts in us...or when he does not act in us. Jesus speaks of the Holy Spirit coming after he leaves the world. He will teach us everything and help us remember. He said this to the disciples, who experienced the Holy Spirit descending upon them and the believers, not too long after Jesus ascended to heaven.
Where is the Holy Spirit today? He's still there, strong as ever. We need only understand what the Holy Spirit does for us and how we sense his presence.
We will also be celebrating both Mother's Day and the Festival of the Christian Home in the hymns that we sing and prayers that we lift up. The Tabor Children's Choir will be singing for the congregation. They will also have gifts to hand out to mothers. There will be baked treats at Oakfield for mothers.
The Bible readings for this Sunday are:
- Acts 16:9-15
- Revelation 21:10, 22-22:5
- Psalm 67
- John 14:23-29
I hope to see you in church!
