"Triumph and Transformation:
The Holy Spirit Moves In"​
Jesus’ triumph over sin, death,
and the devil, brought about the
redemption of humanity and
established God’s Kingdom here
on Earth. So much of what was
undone (as evidenced in the
opening chapters of Genesis),
is redeemed by God as we read
through the opening chapters of
Acts. Jesus promised his disciples
that the Holy Spirit would come
and dwell within them -- telling them that it was better for them that he ascended to heaven because the Holy Spirit would be an even better guide and counselor for them. Chapter 1 of the book of Acts ends with the disciples waiting on the Holy Spirit to empower them for the mission Jesus had given them. They were to be witnesses of Christ’s resurrection and champions of God’s new kingdom here on Earth. God was doing something new. God continues to bring about transformation in us and through us. Join us this Sunday as we continue celebrating Christ’s triumph and surrender to the Spirit’s transformative work in our midst.
In preparation for Sunday, read Acts, Chapter 2
