The day of Pentecost marked one of the most dramatic moments in Christian history when the Holy Spirit descended upon the disciples with unmistakable power. The disciples had been waiting together in Jerusalem, following Jesus' instructions to tarry until they received heavenly power. Their waiting wasn't passive but filled with expectation, like a family in a hospital waiting room anticipating good news. When the Spirit arrived, it came with the sound of violent wind and flames of fire that rested on each person, representing God's uncontrollable yet constructive power.The most remarkable aspect of this event was that the disciples began speaking in languages they had never learned. These weren't unintelligible utterances but real languages that the international crowd in Jerusalem could understand perfectly. Jerusalem was filled with pious Jews from every nation who spoke different languages, and they were amazed to hear these Galilean fishermen declaring God's mighty works in their native tongues. This miracle reveals something profound about God's heart - that divine love transcends all cultural and linguistic barriers.The Holy Spirit's work extends far beyond that first Pentecost day. The Spirit serves as a divine artist, painting countless portraits of Jesus on human hearts using the unique gifts, cultures, and backgrounds of each person. Rather than erasing our particularities, God uses them to draw people into divine love in fresh and meaningful ways. The Spirit gives each person gifts not for personal glory but for the common good, enabling us to help others understand God's love in their particular context. Even during seasons of spiritual drought when we might not feel the Spirit's presence, we are invited to wait expectantly for God's movement, knowing that the Spirit continues to work in unpredictable but always loving ways.Discover the incredible power of Pentecost and how the Holy Spirit transforms ordinary people into extraordinary witnesses for God. This powerful biblical story from Acts 2 reveals one of the most dramatic moments in Christian history when the Holy Spirit descended with wind and fire upon the disciples in Jerusalem. Learn about the miraculous gift of speaking in tongues, where disciples suddenly spoke languages they never learned, allowing people from every nation to hear God's message in their native language. Explore how God speaks people fluently, transcending cultural and linguistic barriers through divine love and grace. Understand the Holy Spirit's role in drawing people to God, giving spiritual gifts for the common good, and working as a divine artist who paints portraits of Jesus on human hearts. This message examines how the Spirit uses our unique personalities, backgrounds, and cultures to reveal Christ to others in fresh ways. Whether you're experiencing spiritual growth or going through a season of spiritual drought, discover how to wait expectantly for the Holy Spirit's movement in your life. Learn practical ways to recognize the Spirit's work, understand your spiritual gifts, and be open to God's unpredictable but loving transformation.

1 Corinthians 12:3b-13, from the Message, Psalm 104:24-34, 35b and Acts 2:1-21

May 24, 2026Today's Reading: John 14:23-31Daily Lectionary: Numbers 21:10-35; Luke 21:20-38“Jesus answered him, 'If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.'” (John 14:23)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.“Jesus answered him, 'If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.'” (John 14:23)I love Jesus. I'm sure most of you do too. Jesus says that if we love Him, we will keep His words. The word “keep” here doesn't just mean to obey; it also means to treasure or hold on to. If we love Jesus, we will love and obey His Words. That totally makes sense. If we love Jesus, we'll love the things that He tells us to love and cling tightly to them. If we love Jesus, we'll love the things that Jesus loves. If we love Jesus, we'll want to make Him happy and do the things that He wants us to do. This is all most certainly true. So, how's that going for you? Do you always appreciate everything Jesus has said to you? Do you love Jesus' words that say you should forgive that girl at school who's always mean to you? Do you love God's plan for chastity and sexual purity the way that Jesus does? Do you always want to make Jesus happy, or are you preoccupied with making yourself happy? We all know the answers to these questions, and it's not good. But remember, when Jesus promises to send the Holy Spirit to us, He promises that the Spirit will bring to our remembrance all that Jesus has said to us (John 14:26). And Jesus doesn't just preach the Law to us, He gives us the promises of the Gospel! You are washed by Jesus' blood. Your Baptism has joined you to Christ's death and resurrection. The Heavenly Father loves you and has made His home in you. Jesus will feed you with His own Body and Blood to strengthen you unto everlasting life. And all of this is given to you as a Gift, by grace through faith, apart from any merit or worthiness in you. If we love Jesus, we will love these words! In fact, that's pretty much what it means to be a Christian! We love the Gospel, and we live in the peace that Jesus promises, with hearts untroubled by the accusations of the Law (John 14:27). At the same time, in response to the Gospel, the Holy Spirit begins to create in us a love for the other words that Jesus has spoken to us, the words of His holy law, that we might obey them to the pleasure of God.  In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.O God, on this day You once taught the hearts of Your faithful people by sending them the light of Your Holy Spirit. Grant us in our day by the same Spirit to have a right understanding in all things and evermore to rejoice in His holy consolation; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. (Collect for Pentecost)Rev. Aric Fenske, Executive Director of Lutherans for Life.

We worship on the first day of the week because our Savior was raised on that day. Every Sunday is a little Easter. This Sunday feels more like Easter than many as the appointed texts celebrate the reality of the resurrection. Live it up this Lord's day. Our God is the God of the living..Scripture Reading: Luke 20:27-38, Job 19:23-27, Psalm 17:1-9

What if one moment could change everything? A rushing wind. Fire from above. Voices understood by all. Hidden in the shadows of Easter and Christmas lies Pentecost—a divine outpouring often overlooked. But what if the power released then is still available for you today? #TheSignificanceOfpentecost #Pentecost #CITAMChurchOnline #ChurchEveryday

The Holy Spirit is one of the three persons of the Trinity along with God our father and mother and Jesus, the son. Scripture tells us that the Holy Spirit was present at creation, descended upon Jesus at his baptism, called the church into being at Pentecost and is present among us now. Yet many of us find it challenging to understand who the Holy Spirit is and how the Spirit relates to our lives. Leonardo Boff, a Brazilian liberation theologian, called the Holy Spirit the “liberator” who frees us from the oppressions of sin and gifts us freedom. In this sermon series leading up to Pentecost, we will explore four ways the Holy Spirit liberates and frees us. Today's scripture reading is Acts 2:37-47.

Widows are visible everywhere in today's readings. Jesus denounces those scribes who pray impressive prayers but devour widows' houses. He commends the poor widow who in his view gave far more than the major donors. Jesus doesn't see her simply as an object of compassion or charity. She, like the widow of Zarephath who shares her last bit of food with Elijah, does something of great importance.Scripture Reading: 1 Kings 17:8-16; Psalm 146; Mark 12:38-44

Wisdom prepares a feast, sets her table, and invites all to come and eat her bread and drink her wine. The first chapter of John's gospel owes much to the biblical tradition that imagined Wisdom as existing before anything was created and having a role in the work of creation. Christ, the wisdom of God (1 Cor. 1:24), today invites us to eat his flesh and drink his blood. John's gospel includes no account of the institution of the Lord's supper, but here we can't help hearing Jesus' words as an invitation to the meal of bread and wine we share. Jesus said: In every generation Wisdom enlightens holy souls, Making them friends of God. Making them prophets. For God loves nothing so much As the person who lives with Wisdom.Scripture Reading: Proverbs 9:1-6; Ephesians 5:15-20; John 6:51-58
