Pastor’s Desk
As we approach the 82nd anniversary of D-Day, we remember how Allied forces joined together in the costly mission to liberate Nazi-occupied Europe. Ordinary men and women were sent by land, sea, and behind enemy lines to push back against evil no single group could overcome alone.
For the church, Pentecost is our green light to serve as God's united front in a battle that is not against flesh and blood. In God’s power and timing, He filled ordinary people with the Holy Spirit to proclaim the victory of Jesus Christ over sin, death, and darkness, carrying the good news of liberation through word and deed into every context and languages people can understand.
May we respond faithfully to God's invitation, and partner in His mission — knowing the battle is already won!
Looking forward to sharing in His hope together this Sunday.
A few years ago, I stood at the Western Wall in Jerusalem, praying beside ancient and massive stones that once formed part of the great temple complex rebuilt by King Herod.
Those stones are all that remain of a place where generations came to seek the presence of God. Even today, it is among the most sacred places in Judaism-the closest many can come to where God once dwelled in the temple.
Temples are meant to be houses for gods. Yet only a few decades after Jesus walked the earth, that temple was destroyed. So where does the living God dwell now?
This Sunday, we explore the surprising answer of Scripture: God has made a new home for himself-not in stone walls, but in people. In all who follow Jesus, God's Spirit now lives and moves.
