No one knows what the future holds. We live somewhere between yesterday and tomorrow. Egypt is far behind us; the kingdom is yet to come. Therefore it is so important that we live in the light of biblical truths as we journey through this life.

Trinity Sunday is a perfect time to talk about what a Trinitarian congregation might look like, here's my short definition:

A group of people who see themselves called and sent by the Holy Spirit to bear witness to the good news of Jesus Christ, in word and deed, for the sake of the world God created and loves so much.

Join me as I look at, in essence, how a congregation must see itself called and on a mission by the Trinitarian God that the congregation confesses.

Ember Week | Wednesday 

Jesus schools a group of Sadducees; who were priests with great power and prestige. However, they did not believe in the resurrection of the dead or an afterlife. They did not believe in angels, and they only believed the Torah to be true. Jesus is basically asking these so-called priests, who have great power and prestige, along with some very poor theology; Who is your God? Because they do not seem to know. Join me as I look at what it means to know the power of God and the true meaning of the Torah (the basis for most of Jesus' teaching).

Pentecost Sunday

We are Easter people, that is, we live in the light of a post-Easter experience. We have the Word of God. We have the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We know that Jesus has risen, and we live our lives in that knowledge. Therefore, in the same sense, we are also Pentecostal people. We live in the age of the Spirit, which is the age of the church, which is the Christian age.

Seventh Sunday of Easter

Sixth Wednesday of Easter

In the final section of his Farewell Discourse to the disciples, Jesus focuses further on the role of the Holy Spirit. Most of what is said in this section repeats themes that have already appeared. The gift of the Spirit to the disciples (or more specifically the church). The Spirit’s relation to Jesus. The Spirit being the continuing presence of Jesus. The Spirit of truth reminding the disciples of all Jesus had taught. Now we hear these themes again, but with tones that take us deeper into their meaning. What might Jesus mean by the phrase “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now”? 

Sixth Sunday of Easter

According to John’s Gospel Jesus will continue to be with his disciples forever. So how will Jesus continue to be with them (us) as they continue their earthly journeys? That’s a good question, and John’s Gospel tells us. Jesus will continue to be with them by way of the Advocate -- the Holy Spirit. Therefore, they needn’t worry about being left orphaned.
