The Spirit // Grad Sunday, Baptism Sunday, and Summer Kickoff
Dear Easter People!
He is Risen!
In this sixth week of the Easter Season, we looked at “the Spirit of the Resurrected Savior.” The question before us this week is: “Do we live as if the Spirit of the Resurrected Savior lives within us?” In John 14:11-31, Jesus gives a life-changing promise to those who want to learn from him: he would send His Spirit to guide and help us in his mission. So, as you look at the mess around you, trust and believe that the Spirit of Jesus living in you is more than enough to help you navigate and negotiate with confidence and compassion!
Tune into the messages for more on this (here’s York City and here’s Stillmeadow Lane).
I’m grateful for you, praying for you and cheering for you as you allow Jesus to prepare you for what’s ahead and as you look to him through it all.
It is true! He is Risen,
Pastor Josh
