Pentecost Sunday - What an Anniversary!

I came across this great verse this week.... it's John the Baptist talking:

"I'm baptizing you here in the river, turning your old life in for a kingdom life. The real action comes next: The main character in this drama—compared to him I'm a mere stagehand—will ignite the kingdom life within you, a fire within you, the Holy Spirit within you, changing you from the inside out.
Matthew 3:11 (MSG)

That's worth repeating!

"... (Jesus) will ignite the kingdom life within you, a fire within you, the Holy Spirit within you, changing you from the inside out. "

Then we read later about the fulfilment of the promise!

1When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.
2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.
3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.

Acts 2:1-4 (NIV)


Then I am inspired by this verse:

Since this is the kind of life we have chosen, the life of the Spirit, let us make sure that we do not just hold it as an idea in our heads or a sentiment in our hearts, but work out its implications in every detail of our lives.
Galatians 5:25 (MSG)

This Sunday is Pentecost Sunday.

And we are going to make some room for Holy Spirit this Sunday Night - 6pm to 7pm - at the Orion Community Room.

This is a chance to praise, celebrate and worship - and then pray - and open ourselves up to more of God.

Hope that you can join us!

Giddy Up!!
