A Sunday morning sermon by Pastor Brett Deal. Christians around the world will gather this Sunday to celebrate the day of Pentecost! It is such a special day in the Church’s liturgical calendar. Just as we rejoice at the birth of Jesus during Advent and journey with Christ through Lent, so we have spent fifty days prayerfully anticipating the outpouring of His Spirit. Praying about this day of celebration, the word “saturation” comes to mind. We long to be saturated by the presence of God’s Holy Spirit. During our service we will stand as witnesses to the profession of faith of three young people as they are baptized in water and testify with one of our families as we baptize two of their little children into our community of faith. In all these special moments, marked with water by immersion or sprinkling, we rejoice that we are sealed by His Spirit as followers of Jesus. As in Acts 2.1-13, we will emerge from the upper room out into the streets of our city, out on to the greens to spend time together and invite our neighbors into our joy with lawn games, food and fellowship. As you come to church on Sunday, with your side dishes to share and your folding chairs and blankets, also come with a hunger that goes beyond burgers and hot dogs but is a deep spiritual hunger to experience the Lord’s presence among us.
