Pentecost: Diversity & Unity for Today
Pentecost Sunday marks a very special day in the life of the Church, meaning followers of Christ everywhere around the world. Pentecost continues the unfolding story of the Trinity. At Christmas, God gives the gift of the Son, the greatest gift ever, so we may experience God up close and personal. Through Jesus, we come to know God in the flesh and the Kingdom of God. At Easter, Jesus makes the greatest sacrifice ever of His very life taking on all our sins, so we could be reconciled with God and experience eternal life in God’s Kingdom. At Pentecost, the Holy Spirit releases the greatest power we can experience. The power and presence of God is at work in our lives individually and in the community through the body of believers in Christ. Pentecost is a celebration of diversity, unity, and solidarity celebrating the birth of the early Christian community and the releasing of the power of the Holy Spirit at work in us and through us even today!
On this Pentecost Sunday celebration, we are worshipping jointly with Living Stones Church, pastored by Brian Hui. We are blessed that both Pastor Tammy Long and Pastor Brian Hui are presenting this message to us.
