Trinity Sunday, The Excellence of the Holy Spirit - Rev Daniel Eddy

Hell's Real, But Doesn't Have to Scare Us - Rev Dcn Bryan Dench

The Gospel we read today from Luke relates the parable Jesus taught of the rich man and Lazarus the beggar. As with the other parables Jesus taught, he makes stark points for our edification and admonition. There is life after death. Heaven and hell are real conditions into which we can fall for eternity. Our destination depends on our decisions during our life, on where our heart is, on where we place our trust. After we die there's no second chances. But if this sounds grim, and indeed it can be, for the Christian there is no condemnation, no need to fear an existence in hell because of Jesus Christ.

Trinity Sunday, The Excellence of the Holy Spirit - Rev Daniel Eddy

This Sunday is Trinity Sunday, when the church in worship, song, and scripture celebrates the mystery of the Trinity, the one God in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Father Dan Eddy gives an inspiring message about the truth of the Trinity and its importance as a doctrine of salvation.

Jesus Sends ANOTHER Paraclete - Rev Dcn Bryan Dench

Early in the Upper Room discourse recorded in John chapters 14-17, Jesus reassures his disciples that he is not abandoning them by returning to the Father. Rather, it is "better" for them because he and the Father will send another paraclete, the Holy Spirit!! The spirit of all truth, the comforter, the guide, the counselor, the teacher. The Holy Spirit is an active, personal spirit present with us as believers always.

The Sending of the Holy Spirit - Very Rev Andrew Faust

In the upper room the night before his passion, Jesus reassured his disciples (and through them, we also) that after his ascension and return to the Father we would not be alone. And as we anticipate the day of Pentecost, we can rest assured that Jesus has provided for us, that we have the Holy Spirit as comforter, advocate, counselor and guide in our lives.

Be On Guard Against Hypocrisy - Very Rev Andrew Faust

Jesus said, "Peace be with you," God's peace. We need to take that to heart and really mean it.
