The night that Jesus was betrayed he told his disciples that it was going to be good for them for him to leave. What could possibly be better than having Jesus with them?
Having the Spirit of God fill their lives with truth, guidance, and love. Being transformed from the inside out.
This Sunday at the Gathering Church the focus will be on the work of the Holy Spirit, starting with Jesus’ promise about the coming of the Spirit.
Most thoughtful people aspire to be ‘spiritual;’ that is, to have qualities in their life that rise above the ordinary pursuits of success and pleasure.
One promise that each Gospel writer makes about Jesus before he ever shows up is that Jesus would ‘baptize’ people in the Holy Spirit. That is not surprising since the title Messiah literally mans ‘The Anointed One,’ anointed with God’s Spirit.
The Holy Spirit makes the best things happen in our lives.
How is it possible to have the Spirit’s wind in our sails?
