Bible Text: John 15:26-16:15 | Preacher: Rafael Vallejo

Pentecost is that time when we remember Jesus sending us the gift of
the Holy Spirit. The sermon talks about what it’s like to be “filled by
the Spirit” and calls us to be open to being “surprised by the Spirit.”

Today is Pentecost Sunday. In a very real sense, the day of Pentecost
is a celebration of the Spirit of God breathing life into the world.
Just as the Spirit of God breathed life into God’s creation in the
beginning, at Pentecost the Spirit of God breathed life into the first
Christian communities, enabling them to do amazing things, and to bear
witness to all that Jesus had done for them and meant to them. The
ancient prophecies had been fulfilled: In the last days, God says, I
will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will
prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream
dreams. Notice it says “on all people”: not just those who call
themselves Christian.
the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

Let us be completely persuaded that God is still speaking, God is leading us to a new place and the Holy Spirit is walking alongside each of us as promised by Jesus himself. Jesus has given us his word: I will send you the Holy Spirit, the comforter,advocate,paraclete who will walk alongside you and lead you to all truth.
