Pentecost Sunday

Tomorrow is Pentecost Sunday – the day we remember the coming of the Spirit.  Where would we be without the Spirit?

  • It is the Spirit who applies Christ’s salvation to us (I Corinthians 6:11, Titus 3:5-7).
  • It is the Spirit who helps and teaches us (John 14:26).
  • It is the Spirit who intercedes for us (Romans 8:26).
  • It is the Spirit who sanctifies us – making us holy and producing in us the “fruit of the Spirit” (I Peter 1:2, Galatians 5:22-23)
  • It is the Spirit who is the guarantee of our inheritance (Ephesians 1:13-14).

We have so many reasons to celebrate the coming of the Spirit!

Never Fully Estimate

O my most tender God and Father,
I can never fully estimate the stoop of Thy majesty
in deigning to love me,
nor the greatness of Thy generosity
in inviting me to have fellowship with Thee.
Give me I pray Thee,
grace to value such priceless goodness,
and every day to live in habitual fellowship with Thee.

– Charles Spurgeon
