We are going to start our series where it all began, Pentecost. Jesus had promised a long awaited helper for the disciples (and us) who would fill them and guide them in his absence. We read that the Holy Spirit is a helper in the ministry that God has called us to in this world.
Christianity is unique among world religions in that God walked the earth with His people. In Isaiah we read all about the coming Savior whose life and ministry will shape nations, and us.
We are taught instinctively to be leery of anything that seems to be too good to be true. Then we read about God’s sending of John the Baptist to an expectant couple. John, the messenger who was to set the ground work for the coming and long awaited Savior.
This week we get to hear stories of how God is at work in our community, women’s ministry, and through students making their profession of faith.
