Are You In A Spirit-Filled Church? | John 16:8-14 | Pentecost & First Communion

Are You In a Spirit-Filled Church? | Christ For You John 16:8–14 | Pentecost A man walked into Zion, sat through the service, and left with a verdict: the Holy Spirit isn’t here. No raised hands. No tears. No electricity in the room. Just a Bible being read, doctrine being preached, and sinners sitting quietly in pews. But was he right? Is the Holy Spirit a force, an energy, a feeling — or something else entirely? Why did Pentecostalism begin only 120 years ago, and how did it become the default Christianity for millions? What happens to your faith when the feeling fades? And who controls your access to God if that access runs through your emotions? What does Jesus actually say the Holy Spirit does? Why does the Spirit refuse to point to Himself? What does it mean that He doesn’t just inform you — He declares something to you? How do you know if the Holy Spirit is working in you? And what do children receiving their first communion prove about whether the Spirit is here? Why does the Spirit come first with the Law? And how does the cross change everything? For those who are sick, aging, and dying — when the feelings are gone and you have no strength left — is the Holy Spirit still there? Who is speaking for you when you no longer have words? In this Pentecost sermon, Pastor Rojas answers every one of those questions from Scripture.

Why Is This Church Still Here? | Isaiah 55:10-11 | 104th Anniversary of Redeemer Lutheran Church

Why Is This Church Still Here? | Christ For You Isaiah 55:10–11 | 104th Anniversary Redeemer Lutheran Church 2626 Liberty Blvd. South Gate, CA 90280 A congregation that once overflowed is now down to twenty people. The school is gone. The founding generation is dead. The neighborhood has changed. And the question nobody is saying out loud — but everybody is carrying — is this: Has God’s Word failed here? Has He moved on? Is this place just a monument to a better time? In this church anniversary sermon, Pastor Rojas walks into that question without flinching — and answers it from Isaiah 55. God doesn’t respond to His people’s despair with a recovery plan or a timeline. He responds the same way He always has: He gives them His Word again. What does Isaiah 55 tell a struggling, shrinking congregation about whether God’s Word is still working? Why does God hide His success in what looks like failure? What does the incarnation of Christ — a homeless preacher, abandoned by His disciples, dead in a tomb — have to do with empty pews in South Gate? What does “it shall not return to me empty” actually mean when the numbers say otherwise? And how does the cross prove, once and for all, that God defines what His Word accomplishes — and no statistic, no chart, no empty pew ever has?
