When the Spirit Moves“ - The Future Opens”

"The Power of a Faithful No"

We conclude our sermon series When the Spirit Moves with the message: “The Future Opens.” As we gather on Pentecost Sunday, we celebrate one of the most powerful moments in the life of the church – the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. What began as a promise becomes a reality. What was once uncertain becomes clear. And what once felt limited suddenly expands. Pentecost reminds us that the story of God is not behind us, but it’s still unfolding.

When the Spirit Moves: “Doors Open”

We continue with our sermon series When the Spirit Moves with the message: “Doors Open.” As we gather, we will also celebrate Senior Sunday, recognizing our graduating high school seniors. This is a meaningful moment in the life of our church, a time when we honor their journey, give thanks for who they have become, and acknowledge the new chapter that lies before them. Graduation is, in many ways, a season of open doors – some anticipated, others uncertain.

When the Spirit Moves “Compassion Rises”

We continue our sermon series When the Spirit Moves with the message: “Compassion Rises.” As we gather on Mother’s Day, we also take time to give thanks for the many ways compassion has been lived out in our lives through mothers, grandmothers, caregivers, and others who have shaped us with quiet strength, steady presence, and sacrificial care. We also hold space for those for whom this day carries grief, longing, or complexity. Wherever you find yourself, we trust that God meets us with compassion.

When the Spirit Moves “Someone Is Sent”

we continue our series When the Spirit Moves with the message: “Someone Is Sent.” The Spirit does not only move within us, but the Spirit sends us. In Acts 8, Philip is led to a desert road, an ordinary place that becomes a sacred moment. A conversation begins, Scripture is opened, and a life is changed. What’s striking is how simple it is. The Spirit often works not through grand plans, but through attentiveness and willingness. Philip does not control the moment, but he responds to it. And that is often where faithfulness is found.
