Happy Tuesday! Dr. Mo opens the doors of the church for a post Pentecost thought as she meditates on Acts 3:1-10. She discusses how the lame man had expectation of one thing and received a life altering and expansive gift! Dr. Mo expounds on how we have the opportunity to know the Power of Resurrection as we think about the expansion phase in Dr. Aimee's work in "The Biology of Trauma". She reflects on her journey of learning why she was so hesitant to do the podcast and how with the help of the Holy Spirit through therapy, she can now KNOW power of Resurrection in her life. She expected one thing and received the path toward expansion. Tune in to this episode as we think about how we can rise to life by asking ourselves what holds us back as Dr. Mo did concerning her hesitation to do the podcast.  God's power is waiting on us to do expansive things although the path might be difficult and uncomfortable.  The Holy Spirit has come to walk with us through our healing journeys. Information for Dr. Mohttps://www.drmoniquesmithgadson.com/Link to order “Finding Hope in A Dark Place”:https://lexhampress.com/search?query=Finding%20Hope%20in%20a%20Dark%20Place%3A%20Facing%20Loneliness%2C%20Depression%2C%20and%20Anxiety%20with%20the%20Power%20of%20Grace&sortBy=Relevance&limit=30&page=1&ownership=all&geographicAvailability=allhttps://www.amazon.com/Finding-Hope-Dark-Place-Loneliness/dp/1683596358/ref=rvi_sccl_7/138-1785751-1148333?pd_rd_w=decCb&content-id=amzn1.sym.f5690a4d-f2bb-45d9-9d1b-736fee412437&pf_rd_p=f5690a4d-f2bb-45d9-9d1b-736fee412437&pf_rd_r=GMEBCA5ZB54MM98HHN5F&pd_rd_wg=pwctW&pd_rd_r=0cf054c6-aedd-427d-ac2a-563757407228&pd_rd_i=1683596358&psc=1Follow us on social media: https://instagram.com/drmoniquesmithgadson?igshid=1bmt2hei1j6i8Support And The Church Said:Cash App:  https://cash.app/$andthechurchsaid

Aaron and Jacob dive into the readings for the second sunday of Pentecost, which are Hosea 5:15-6:6; Romans 4:13-25; and Matthew 9:9-13, 18-26.

Many Christians have questions about the baptism of the Holy Spirit.What is it? Is it for believers today? Does it always happen the same way? How do you know if you've received it? And what role does speaking in tongues play in the experience?In this conversation, Jeff and Adrienne Rogers share two remarkably different experiences with the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Adrienne was raised in a Lutheran church and believed she already had everything she needed spiritually. Jeff spent years pursuing a deeper experience with God and wrestling through questions of faith, scripture, and the work of the Holy Spirit.What followed challenged many of their assumptions and ultimately transformed the course of their lives.Rather than presenting a formula, their stories reveal something many Christians never realize: God does not always work the same way in every person. The baptism of the Holy Spirit can look very different from one believer to another while producing the same hunger for God, intimacy with Him, and desire to walk in His power.In this episode, we discuss:⇨ The baptism of the Holy Spirit⇨ Speaking in tongues and prayer language⇨ Whether spiritual gifts are still active today⇨ Pentecost and Acts 2⇨ Faith, expectation, and receiving from God⇨ Hearing God's voice⇨ Miracles and the power of prayer⇨ Walking in the fullness of what God has for believersWhether you have experienced the baptism of the Holy Spirit yourself, are seeking it, are skeptical of it, or simply want to understand what the Bible teaches, this conversation offers a thoughtful and honest look at a subject that has shaped the lives of Christians for generations.

Join us for Day1 Episode 4237 with Bishop Robert C. Wright, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta, as he preaches “God is Our Portion” on Genesis 12:1-9. For the 2nd Sunday after Pentecost, Year A, Bishop Wright reflects on God's call to Abram and Sarai, the promise of blessing, and the faithful journey of discovering that God is enough. With warmth and clarity, he invites us to trust God's companionship and live as signs of blessing for the world.

We sit down to process a big Sunday at LifeHouse: baby dedications, taking communion as a gathered church, and a baptism celebration filled with raw, honest testimonies of how Jesus changes real lives.We dig into why baby dedication matters even though it isn't an ordinance, and how it functions as a public commitment for parents and a shared promise from the church family to come alongside them. Then we clarify the two ordinances Jesus gives the church: communion and baptism. Both are symbolic, but never shallow. Communion re-centers us on the cross together, and baptism publicly pictures the gospel, the washing of sin, and the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ. We also talk through the tension around children's baptism, why some churches set age limits, and how we try to guard the sacredness of baptism without becoming spiritual gatekeepers.The conversation turns to Acts 2 and Pentecost, where Peter's first sermon shows the “Acts of the Holy Spirit” in motion. We unpack four themes: the Spirit powers the messenger, presents the message through illumination, proclaims the Messiah, and pierces hearts with conviction. That conviction isn't condemnation; it's God's kindness that wounds in order to heal, leading from salvation into real sanctification.If this encouraged you, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find these conversations.

We challenge the way we talk about the Holy Spirit by reframing fire as God's confirmation rather than our performance or a Sunday-only moment. We leave with a clear responsibility to tend the flame through surrender, purity, and steady daily obedience. • The Holy Spirit brings the fire while we bring the sacrifice • The meaning of all flame as being consumed by God's presence • Leviticus 9 and why fire signals approval and confirmation • Recognising that not everything burning has God's approval • Asking what interference crowds out the flame • Trimming the wick as a picture of removing buildup and neglect • Choosing consistency over intensity through daily maintenance • Refusing to chase the effects of fire without responsibility • Pentecost as a mobile altar and an internalised temple life • Purity as wholeheartedness and removing competitors for his affection 

Welcome to our podcast, where we dive deep into the teachings of Christ and explore how they can be applied to our modern lives. Join us as we discuss everything from scripture and prayer to living a purposeful and fulfilling life rooted in faith. Our hope is that this podcast will inspire, uplift, and challenge you on your journey towards a deeper relationship with God. www.Scarletnote.org

Morning lessons: Psalms 81; Joshua 1; Luke 18:31-19:10.  O sing merrily unto God our strength; make a cheerful noise unto the God of Jacob.

A sermon preached by Rev. Ginger E. Gaines-Cirelli with Foundry UMC, May 24, 2026, Pentecost Sunday. “We Know Who We Are” series. ​​​​Texts: Acts 2:1-21; John 20:19-22​​​​   Last Tuesday evening, I found myself seated at a table listening to live jazz in the nave of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in NYC. The occasion was the celebration for my mentor, Rev. Dr. Serene Jones upon her retirement as president of Union Theological Seminary after an extraordinary 18-year tenure. It was such a gift not only to be in the room with and for Serene, but to reflect on her influence upon my life through her words, actions, and friendship. And when she rose at the end of the evening to address the crowd, she urged all of us to pay attention to the prompting of Spirit and to follow God's call on our life.   It was a gift to receive this charge: to ponder, remember, and honor God's call upon my life and how Spirit has been falling afresh on me at every age and stage of my journey. Sometimes Spirit's meddling and God's call have felt aggravating, disruptive, heavy, and even painful. But, with every twist and turn along the way, God has brought me through and Spirit has stirred me to keep going.   And the truth is, I didn't always recognize Spirit's presence while it was happening. Sometimes it was only later, looking back, that I could see how God had been nudging and guiding and sustaining me all along. Maybe you know something about that too. Maybe Spirit has shown up in your life in ways you didn't fully recognize at the time—in a relationship that changed you…a burden you couldn't shake…a moment of courage you didn't know you had…a conviction that kept growing in you…a grief that opened your heart…or a persistent tug toward compassion, justice, mercy, or love.   And it makes me think about how we focus just one day of the liturgical year on the miraculous story of Spirit blowing into the community of Jesus's disciples and setting them on fire to move out into the streets to tell God's deeds of power. But, really, Spirit is at work in all sorts of ways all the time.   I get it, though, why we make a whole day out of Pentecost. It is a powerful story, the church's origin story really, of the moment when the disciples realized that Jesus' promises would be kept—that the Holy Spirit would baptize them and empower them to continue the saving work of God in the world. That very day they did things that seemed impossible—they spoke in ways that people from all over the known world could understand. And in that moment Peter recognized and proclaimed the fulfillment not only of the promise of Jesus, but the prophecy of Joel. That God would pour out Spirit upon all flesh, empowering all to have visions and dream dreams and prophesy. It's very dramatic—like a sci-fi movie that brings unlikely people together acrossunimaginable odds to do extraordinary things—with the bonus of great special effects. And I love it! But I also recognize that Pentecost wasn't the first time Spirit showed up among the disciples. Maybe it was the first time they recognized so clearly the Spirit who had been carrying them all along.   How else were they able to have the courage to leave their familiar lives to follow Jesus? How else were they able to go into villages and tell the good news and care for the sick and those struggling with their demons? How, apart from Holy Spirit, did they feed the five thousand? How did they stay together after the trauma and terror of crucifixion?   And maybe that's why I love the quieter story in John chapter 20 so much. The disciples have had the wind knocked out of them. By grief, fear, trauma. By watching everything they thought was going to happen collapse before their eyes. They are huddled behind locked doors, trying to figure out what comes next.   And then Jesus comes among them—not first with demands or instructions, but with peace. “Peace be with you.” And then he breathes on them and says, “Receive the Holy Spirit.” And honestly, I need to receive this right now and am pretty sure I'm not alone. I believe many people have had the wind knocked out of them. By grief. By fear. By the cruelty and chaos of this moment. By exhaustion. By disillusionment with the church. By watching Christianity so often get presented as domination instead of service, exclusion instead of welcome, certainty instead of compassion.   And on this Memorial Day weekend, many of us are carrying grief not only for lives lost in service, but also for the deep fractures in the country those lives sought to protect.   Many of us wonder whether the church can still mean something beautiful. Whether faith can still sound like Jesus.   We need the story we tell today! John and Acts tell it differently—but perhaps they are showing us two movements of the same Spirit. In John, Spirit comes like breath in a fearful room—restoring peace, courage, and life to weary people. In Acts, Spirit comes like wind in the streets—pushing those same people beyond fear and beyond every barrier to bear witness in a broken world.   But it is the same Spirit. The Spirit who restores breath to weary people. The Spirit who revives people who have had the life knocked out of them. The Spirit who reminds fearful people who they are.   And only then comes the sending. Jesus says, “As the Father has sent me, so I send you…” Notice that Jesus does not come into the room and say, “Once you've resolved all your fear…once you feel confident…once you fully understand everything…THEN I'll send you.”   No. The doors are still locked. The disciples are still afraid. And yet Jesus breathes Spirit into them anyway. God's mission doesn't wait for us to feel ready. Spirit meets us in the midst of fear, uncertainty, grief, and confusion—and sends us anyway.   What does it mean to be sent by Jesus as Jesus is sent by his Father? If the accounts of Jesus' life are our guide, then it means that we, like Jesus, are sent into the world to bring healing into places of suffering, hope into places of despair, mercy and forgiveness into places of sin, comfort into places of grief, peace into places of violence, love into places of hatred. To be sent as Jesus is sent is to be bearers of God's life in the world, to put our lives on the line for the sake of justice, and to stand in solidarity with those who are hurt by the systems of the day.   As disciples of Jesus Christ, we are a people who are not only gathered into the family of God—those who “go to church”—but we are also, inherently, a sent people, called to BE the church all the time and in every place we are.   Think for a moment of the life-giving rhythm of our bodies breathing in and breathing out. A healthy body needs to do both. The in-breath of the Body of Christ—the church—is the Spirit gathering us in to be loved, supported, fed, strengthened, and given purpose through sacrament and worship and study and community. Every Sunday or whenever we gather, the Body breathes in, takes in God's grace and power. And the out-breath is like the Spirit of God blowing out across the chaos of the world at the very beginning, bringing peace and new life. The “sent-ness” of the church is like that—the church moving out into the chaos and brokenness of the world to bring love, mercy, healing, and hope. Every day between Sundays the Body exhales, breathing the Spirit into places thirsty for life and hope and kindness.   As the founder of the Methodist movement, John Wesley, famously said: Do all the good you can, By all the means you can, In all the ways you can, In all the places you can, At all the times you can, To all the people you can, As long as ever you can.   I remember during the painful debates and divisions of the United Methodist General Conferences of 2016 and 2019, one of the pieces of legislation brought to the floor proposed changing the United Methodist mission statement—which is “To make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world”—by dropping the second half: “for the transformation of the world.”   I was aghast at the idea. It felt like a vision of discipleship focused only inwardly, as if Jesus followers were meant to crowd back into locked rooms and focus only on their personal “disciple” ticket. It sounded like a church withdrawing its prophets from proximity to the powers and principalities that so desperately need their voice. It sounded like a church trying to hold its breath. I'm happy to say the legislation didn't pass. Because the story of this day—the story of Pentecost, the story of the work of Holy Spirit in and through disciples across the ages—is clear: Spirit always exhales—sending us into the world to embody the love and justice of Christ. The way we say it at Foundry is “Love God. Love each other. Change the world.”   And so I want to extend to you the same charge I received from Serene: pay attention to the prompting of Spirit who is always at work and respond to God's call on your life. Every day. In all the ways and places and by whatever means you can. And if you aren't sure where to begin, I invite you to decide right now on one act of service or outreach you will do this week, even small, for the wider community. Just do one concrete act of service beyond your usual routine. It could be running an errand for a friend who needs a hand. Or calling your state or federal representatives. Or paying for someone's meal. Or any other thing that Spirit prompts.   Because Spirit has been nearer than you realized all along. And Spirit will keep giving you breath—and wind at your back—to move beyond yourself and into the wondrous, love-fueled mission of God.

Before ascending into heaven, Jesus gave His followers a clear mission: “You will be My witnesses… to the ends of the earth” — a calling they boldly began to live out on the day of Pentecost and that we are called to continue today.But witnessing isn't one-size-fits-all.In this series, we'll explore the lives of different evangelists and missionaries throughout history and discover that while the methods may vary, the mission remains the same: to help disconnected people become connected to Christ.

What if this summer became a season of making space for the Holy Spirit again?   In this message from Acts 2, James invites us to create fresh space in our schedules, homes, hearts, and ordinary rhythms. As the disciples waited and made room, heaven filled the house—and suddenly, everything changed.   This message explores the invitation of Pentecost: making space for His presence, becoming expectant for "and suddenly" moments, receiving a fresh sound as the Spirit restores our voice and song, and asking God for fresh sight to see what He is doing in us and around us.   A summer marked by His presence.

In this sermon, we explore why the Trinity isn't a theological side note but the very center of Christian faith, shaping how we understand God, creation, the cross, and life in the Spirit.Beginning with God's self-revelation as “I AM WHO I AM” (Exodus 3:14) and the doctrine of divine aseity, we look at what it means that God is utterly self-sufficient—and why our cultural obsession with radical independence is a distortion of our created design (Genesis 1:26–27; Psalm 100:3).From there, we unpack the profound claim that “God is love” (1 John 4:8, 16). If love necessarily involves a lover and a beloved, then only a triune God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—can be love in Himself from all eternity (John 17:24). We consider creation as both creatio ex nihilo and creatio ex amore—God making all things out of nothing and out of His overflowing love (Psalm 33:6; Psalm 136; Colossians 1:15–17; John 1:1–3).We then trace how the same self-giving love revealed in creation is unveiled at the cross. Jesus' crucifixion is not God acting “out of character,” but the clearest revelation of who God has always been (John 8:28; Romans 5:6–8; Revelation 13:8). The Father, Son, and Spirit act inseparably in salvation just as in creation: the Father sends, the Son is sent, and the Spirit conceives, empowers, and applies Christ's finished work (Luke 1:35; John 1:29–34; Hebrews 9:14).Next, we look at Pentecost and the gift of the Holy Spirit as God's way of bringing us into His own triune life of love (Acts 1:8; Acts 2:1–4; Romans 5:5). By the Spirit, the Father and Son “make their home” with us (John 14:16–23), so that we now remain in Him and He in us (1 John 3:24; John 15:1–11). God's love doesn't sit still; it “compels” us outward in mission (2 Corinthians 5:14–15; Matthew 28:18–20).Finally, we connect this to the movement from pilgrims to pioneers:Like the crowds in Acts 2, we ascend as pilgrims to encounter God in worship and community (Psalm 24:3–6; Hebrews 10:24–25).Filled with the Spirit, we are sent out as pioneers of the gospel to the nations, carrying the same self-giving love we see in Father, Son, and Spirit (Acts 2:5–11; Acts 8:4; Romans 10:13–15).The message concludes with a clear invitation to repentance, faith, and full surrender to Jesus (Mark 1:14–15; Romans 10:9–10; Ephesians 2:8–9), and a prayer to be filled with the Holy Spirit to live in and live out the eternal love of God (Galatians 2:20; Galatians 5:22–25; Jude 20–21).

In this powerful episode of Your Weekly Calling, Brad Lowe unpacks the meaning of Pentecost and challenges listeners to stop chasing a safe, surface-level faith and start pursuing true surrender to the Holy Spirit. Using Acts 2 as the foundation, Brad paints Pentecost not as a polished church service, but as a loud, messy, supernatural moment that completely transformed ordinary people. He emphasizes that the true miracle of Pentecost wasn't just wind and fire—it was fearful people becoming bold through the power of the Holy Spirit.Brad contrasts “battery Christians,” who constantly run on temporary emotional highs, with Spirit-filled believers who stay deeply connected to God daily. Along the way, he shares the incredible true story of Evan Roberts and the Welsh Revival, where entire communities were transformed because people became desperate for God's presence instead of just religious routine.With humor, honesty, and challenge, Brad pushes listeners to stop trying to fake spiritual fire through hype or appearances and instead make room for real connection with God through surrender, prayer, silence, and expectancy. The episode closes with a reminder that the Holy Spirit wasn't sent merely to help believers survive spiritually—but to bring dead things back to life.

During the First Friday gathering in Saginaw on May 1, Bishop Gruss quoted Pope Francis and reminded listeners that every baptized person is called to be a missionary disciple.“A missionary disciple is someone who knows Jesus personally, loves Him deeply, follows Him faithfully, and shares Him boldly,” he said in his talk. (View the video below or watch it HERE.)He stressed that evangelization is not about having all the answers, but about sharing one's encounter with Christ.“A witness is someone who says, ‘I have met the Lord and He has changed my life,'” Bishop Gruss said.Bishop Gruss reflected on the Sacrament of Confirmation and missionary discipleship, and encouraged Catholics to rediscover the power of the Holy Spirit already at work within them through the Sacraments. He emphasized that Confirmation is inseparable from missionary discipleship. “The Spirit was poured upon the Church for one reason,” he said. “To evangelize.”“Wake Up the Sleeping Giant”Bishop Gruss encouraged Catholics to develop a personal relationship with the Holy Spirit and rely less on self-sufficiency. “The Holy Spirit is already in you,” he said. “But perhaps He's dormant. Wake up the sleeping giant in your life. You have everything you need to live as a disciple of Jesus in the world today.”First Friday attendees were encouraged to pray simple prayers each day asking the Holy Spirit to become more active in their lives.He also encouraged young people preparing for Confirmation to approach the Sacrament with openness and courage. The Sacrament of Confirmation is meant to be a life-changing moment in one's life and call to discipleship, as it was for the disciples of the early church."“Don't be afraid to live an extraordinary life in Christ,” he said. “Christ is calling all of us to be saints.”Speaking during the Diocese's confirmation season, Bishop Gruss reflected on visiting parishes across the Diocese to celebrate Confirmation with young people. “Confirmation is not an ending. It doesn't complete anything. It's a beginning,” Bishop Gruss said.He explained that Catholics often reduce the Sacraments to events they attend rather than encounters with Jesus Christ himself. “When we look at the Sacramental life merely as events, then we have diminished them by 99.9%,” he said.Instead of saying, “I'm going to Mass,” Bishop Gruss suggested Catholics think differently: “I'm going for an encounter with the risen Lord Jesus.”Jesus Is the One Who ConfirmsBishop Gruss reminded attendees that Jesus himself is the minister of every Sacrament. “Jesus baptized you. He confirmed you. He gave himself to you in Holy Communion,” he said. “In the Sacrament of Confirmation, he uses my thumb.”Reflecting on his own Confirmation and Baptism dates, Bishop Gruss encouraged Catholics to learn and celebrate those dates as important milestones in their lives of faith. “These are two of the most important dates,” he said, “more important than your birthday.”He urged Catholics to contact the parish where they were baptized to obtain their Sacramental records and reflect more intentionally on those moments of grace.Confirmation and the Holy SpiritDrawing from the Acts of the Apostles, Bishop Gruss compared Confirmation to the transformation experienced by the apostles at Pentecost. Before receiving the Holy Spirit, the apostles hid in fear. Afterward, they boldly proclaimed the Gospel.“Peter went from fear and denial of Jesus to being a strong, faithful witness of the Gospel,” Bishop Gruss said. “Everything changed.”"That same Holy Spirit is given to the disciples is given to each person in the Sacrament of Confirmation, not diminished in any way. This is why it should be a profound life-changing experience."Bishop Gruss encouraged Catholics to ask the Lord to “bring alive the grace” of Confirmation again in their lives.“The Spirit is never dead,” he said. “Ask the Holy Spirit to ignite your faith.”

Bishop Gruss announced a major moment for our local Church: a Year of the Holy Spirit beginning on the Solemnity of Pentecost, May 24, 2026, through Pentecost 2027.

Pastor Matt opens by setting the stage with Acts 1:8, the last recorded words of Jesus before his ascension, where he commands his followers to be witnesses "to the ends of the earth." For the first nine chapters of Acts, the gospel had been spreading rapidly — but almost exclusively among Jewish people. The burning question hanging over the early church was this: What about the Gentiles? Could people who were not ethnically Jewish truly become part of God's family? Acts 10–11 answers that question decisively, Marking one of the greatest turning points in the entire book. Through a pair of divine visions — one given to Cornelius, a Roman centurion and God-fearer stationed in Caesarea, and one given to Peter involving a sheet full of unclean animals — God begins dismantling centuries of cultural, ethnic, and religious walls. When Peter steps into the home of Cornelius and shares the gospel, the Holy Spirit falls on the Gentiles just as he had on the Jews at Pentecost. Peter's response says it all: "Who was I that I could stand in God's way?" Back in Jerusalem, the church initially pushes back, but when they hear the full account, they fall silent and glorify God, saying, "Then to the Gentiles also God has granted repentance that leads to life" (Acts 11:18). Pastor Matt brings the message home with three practical takeaways: God is pursuing people we might tend to overlook; following Jesus means letting him reshape our perspectives and assumptions; and the Holy Spirit directs and confirms God's mission to all people. The call to action is clear — just as someone once crossed out of their comfort zone so the gospel could reach us, it is now our turn to step into uncomfortable obedience and move toward the people God is already pursuing.

In Part I of this 2-part series, we introduced several reasons why many Christians believe women should be able to serve as pastors. Our scriptural considerations began with understanding what the “equality in Christ” in our theme text means. We found that it is pointing to an immovable foundation for people of differing ethnicities, different social standings and both genders to stand firmly upon. While Christ does not change our heritage, social standing or gender privileges, he equally welcomes all of us. We also briefly examined the roles of a few prominent Old Testament women. Here we discovered that even though they were wise and chosen prophets of God, that did not open the door for them to be in any way related to the priesthood of Israel. In Part II of our series, we continue examining the question of whether women should serve as pastors or elders by looking closely at New Testament women in ministry by including examples often raised in support of egalitarian views. We explore the lives of Priscilla, Phoebe and Junia—women of remarkable faith and influence—and consider how their contributions fit within the structure God designed for the early church. These women served powerfully and sacrificially, yet Scripture never presents them as holding the governing or teaching offices reserved for elders. Gift vs. office A major theme of this episode is the difference between gifts and offices. God gives spiritual gifts broadly to both men and women, enabling all believers to teach, encourage, counsel and serve. But the New Testament consistently assigns the formal teaching and governing roles of the church to qualified men. This distinction becomes especially important when we look at Pentecost. Peter quotes a prophecy from Joel to show that God's spirit was being poured out on both sons and daughters, but his purpose was to highlight the arrival of miraculous gifts—not to redefine church leadership. Pentecost was a preview of God's power, not a restructuring of the elder role. The Competency Argument We also address the modern argument of competency. Many women today are highly educated, capable leaders in every sphere of society. Scripture never denies their ability. Instead, it provokes us to consider how God arranges His body according to His design, not human preference. The pattern of male eldership is rooted not in culture, but in creation, headship and the consistent teaching of both Paul and Peter. This episode encourages all Christians—men and women—to embrace their God given roles with humility, gratitude and purpose, recognizing that leadership in the body of Christ begins and ends with faithful service. Key Takeaways • New Testament women served powerfully, but none are shown holding the office of elder. • Gifts and offices are different: gifts show ability; offices show responsibility. • Pentecost demonstrated God's power, not a change in church leadership structure. • Competency is not the issue—God's design and order are. • Headship is rooted in creation, not culture. • Every Christian can lead by example, regardless of role.

En las viñas 1) Plantó: Esta bien que uno sienta cosas en un retiro espiritual, en una misa carismática o en un rezo del rosario, es parte de nuestra vida porque somos cuerpo, alma y Espíritu. Aunque debo reconocer que también tenemos emociones, pero vale rescatar que Jesús vive en los corazones de las personas. A lo que nos ayudan estos instrumentos espirituales es a fortalecer y despertar lo que tenemos. Hay gente que cree que va a Tierra Santa para encontrarse con Jesús o con su espíritu, no. Si vamos a Tierra Santa es un sitio histórico, pero no es que uno se encuentra allí con Jesús. Si se encuentra en una reunión es porque nosotros lo traemos. Él mismo nos dijo que donde dos o más estén reunidos en su nombre Él estaría. Cristo viene igual cuando estás triste o cansado. Dios está en tu corazón, no confundamos emoción con presencia de Dios. Porque cuando el fuego de Pentecostés cayó no cayó en el edificio, sino en las personas. Es ese fuego que hizo que salgan a predicar. Por eso, pedí siempre al Espíritu Santo que te llene para llenar. 2) Tomaron: Cuando creemos que el Espíritu obra en el edificio y no en las personas volvemos a vivir en un sistema religioso agobiante. Uno de los problemas que tenemos en la Iglesia es que nos gusta mucho la letra muerta, cuando comprendemos que “Cristo va conmigo” puedo entender lo que es anunciar a Jesús. El mandamiento que Jesús nos deja es: “Id por todo el mundo”, pero nosotros decimos: “Mejor que los pecadores vengan aquí”. Se trata de ir, de salir y de vivir, de llevar. El Señor nunca dijo vayan y armen estructuras o generen una franquicia. Es pasar de ser un templo de piedras a ser un templo vivo. 3) Echaron: Jesús vive dentro tuyo y aviva en vos la fuerza del Espíritu Santo. Nosotros remplazamos a los edificios y a las estructuras que sofocan, pero seguimos pensando que nuestra vida espiritual pasa por las reuniones que asistimos y hasta lo llamamos vida de Iglesia, pero no, es vida de edifico, no de Iglesia, porque la Iglesia somos nosotros cuando nos reunimos junto a Jesús Eucaristía. Algo bueno está por venir

Happy Pentecost — the birthday of the Church! In this Pentecost Sunday homily, Fr. Jonathan Meyer reflects on the five biblical images of the Holy Spirit: dove, fire, wind, breath, and water. Each image helps us enter more deeply into relationship with the Holy Spirit:

Evening lessons: Psalms 80; Ezekiel 7; Acts 8:26-40.  Hear, O Shepherd of Israel, you that lead Joseph like a sheep; show yourself also, your that sit upon the cherubim.

Morning lessons: Psalms 78:41-73; Deuteronomy 34; Luke 18:1-30.  Many times they provoked him in the desert and grieved him in the wilderness.

Evening lessons: Psalms 78:19-40; Ezekiel 6; Acts 8:4-25.  They tested God in their hearts and demanded food for their craving.

In this message, Pastor Jay Tyler explores the significance of Pentecost and the purpose behind the Baptism in the Holy Spirit. This message examines the continuing availability of the promise today, and why believers need the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit more than ever. If you've ever wondered why the Baptism in the Holy Spirit matters, what Pentecost means, or how the Holy Spirit empowers believers for daily Christian living, this message will encourage you to seek all that God has promised.

What is the purpose of speaking in tongues? Why did the Apostle Paul place such importance on praying in the Spirit? In this message, we explore the biblical purpose of tongues, the power of Pentecost, and how praying in the Spirit builds us up, reveals God's mysteries, and helps us walk in His divine purpose. The disciples were transformed after Pentecost. Peter went from denying Jesus to boldly preaching the gospel with power. The same Holy Spirit that empowered the early church is available to believers today. God desires for us to move beyond lukewarm Christianity and into a deeper relationship with Him through the power of the Holy Spirit. Discover how praying in tongues strengthens your spirit, aligns you with God's will, reveals spiritual mysteries, and prepares you for the destiny God has ordained for your life.

In the aftermath of the power of Pentecost, a new kind of community is born. Through a deep devotion to a shared way of life, they lived an embodied and empowered life of love together that still challenges our vision of who the Church is called to be. So what does this new kind of family mean for us? And how might we find it here? (Acts 2:42-47)

(6) James Tabor examines how, during the Jewish Revolt (66–70 CE), the movement fled Jerusalem for a "hideout" in Pella, Jordan. However, Mary disappears from the historical record before this event, likely dying on Mount Zion in the 50s or 60s. Tabor notes her absence in Paul's letters and the later chapters of Acts, despite her earlier presence at Pentecost. He discusses the tradition of the Dormition, suggesting she remained in Jerusalem until her death. This disappearance marks a transition where the historical Mary was gradually "written out" of the emerging Christiannarrative.1842 Masada
