HOLY HOLY HOLY
Call to Worship: Psalm 16
One of the reasons we gather is to set the Lord before our eyes again. To be reminded that for all who are in Christ, our lives are held secure in His perfect life and work. Let’s sing about who he is and what he’s done:
THE SOLID ROCK
WHAT YOU SAID
Scripture tells us that the foolishness of God is still wiser than the wisdom of man. God is good, but sometimes it does not feel like He is good. Because He is more than we could understand. I think the disciples felt similarly as they saw the resurrected Jesus - don’t go, stay, we want to hold on to you! And Jesus says, it is better that I go, because when I go I will send to you a Helper - the Holy Spirit who will convict of sin, comfort you in your affliction, remind you what I have said, be the sign, seal, and guarantee of your salvation. This morning is Pentecost Sunday, where we remember and celebrate the sending of the Holy Spirit to indwell the life of every believer. We are going to take a minute now to thank God for His Spirit, I will read these words, and then together we will pray:
Almighty God, on this day, through the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, you revealed the way of eternal life to every race and nation:
Pour out this gift anew, that by the preaching of the Gospel your salvation may reach to the ends of the earth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
