Pentecost 13C Building on the Promises of God, Part 6: Power from the Holy Spirit

Acts 1:8 Jesus set a high bar for discipleship; if you do not renounce all that you have you cannot be my disciple. So count the cost. Make sure that you can finish before you begin. Do you have the resources? Really? We know from experience that we don’t. But God does! And he promises, you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. There is the power for discipleship! Sermon Date:  September 8, 2019

Pentecost C Joining Jesus Pt 3: Doing Good and Praying

John 14:23-31 In response to Jesus informing his disciple that he was going away (ascending onto heaven) Judas (not Iscariot) had a question, “Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?” Good question right? The sermon today will explore two things. First, Jesus’s answer to the question. Second, how this answer dovetails with the Joining Jesus Mission Practices. Sermon Date:  June 9, 2019
