The Holy Spirit is as much God as the Father and the Son, but we understand so little of Him! He not only comes to us to comfort and empower us, He brings us up into the fellowship of the Triune God.
The third and final of our “Dwell, Gel, Tell” summer series, Jim talks about “telling” people that God loves them, taking lessons from Jesus conversation with a woman at the well in John 4, and then talks practicalities about our plans for next week.
Each year we ask the Lord what He would like our wee church family to focus on for the year. Jim shares what this looks like, why, and what the Lord has given us as an emphasis for 2024.
In 2023 we think we hear Jesus reminding us that He is the vine, and calling us to "Remain in Me", and "Love one another". Jim shares what that looks like practically.
Jim finishes our Advent series with a short reflection on Peace in the midst of chaos.
How do we find joy through Jesus, particularly in chaotic times?
Love entails sacrifice and suffering, as well as great joy.
Evangelism is friendship which invites others to loving friendship with God
Just as Jesus calls Peter to hope and follow him again after disappointment, fear, and failure, Jesus invites us to hope, trust, and follow out of the valley of the shadow of death.
In their disorientation and confusion, the disciples go back to what they know - fishing.
In His incredible kindness, Jesus meets them there, transforms their everyday ordinary and invites them into His presence. He does the same for us.
