Pastor's Message from the Sunday Bulletin  

Pastor's Message from the Sunday Bulletin  
Jesus had been killed, was raised to life and had ascended into heaven. The apostles bore witness to these events. Now, their Lord having visibly left them, they could do one of two things: they could pretend to go back to life as it was before Jesus encountered them, or they could live in the truth of the resurrection as changed (reborn) men.

The coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost removed this decision from the apostles; they were called to tell others what they saw Jesus do and who they knew him to be. From the time of the giving of the Holy Spirit on the apostles were called, commissioned, compelled and commanded to make their life’s work the spread of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

We like to think about Pentecost as the time when the Holy Spirit was given to the disciples of Jesus. But if we stop there, we miss out on what the giving of the Holy Spirit meant for them and what it means for us. The Holy Spirit did not come to the apostles for their benefit (after all, they already believed in Jesus following his resurrection); He came to the apostles for the benefit of those who would hear His message through the apostles. The Holy Spirit was given so that the apostles would tell other people the good news of Jesus.

Today we give thanks to God for sending the Holy Spirit into our lives. We also ask for His guidance as we follow in the footsteps of our spiritual ancestors and seek to share the good news of forgiveness, life and salvation with our family, friends, and people we know.

Sermon - Sunday, May 27, 2012

Gospel reading and Sermon by
Pastor Duncan McLellan

The Gospel Lesson: John 16:5-15
But now I am going to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’ But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you. And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment: concerning sin, because they do not believe in me; concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see me no longer; concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.

“I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.
