From the Pastor By: Rev. Lee Williams

Good News From God’s Word Acts 1:8 TEV Jesus said, When the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you will be filled with power, and you will be witnesses for Me in Jerusalem, in all of Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. Galations 5:22-23 NTL When the Holy Spirit controls our lives, He will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
Pentecost — Power from the Holy Spirit The huge increase in gasoline prices has caused most of us to think a lot more about how important power is in our lives. Jesus proclaimed that we can have the greatest power of all when we ask the Holy Spirit to come in to our lives. |

Jesus taught us that the Holy Spirit is our Counselor, Advocate, Guide, and Teacher. The Holy Spirit is also the source of power that raised Jesus from the dead. And any Christian can have the Holy Spirit’s power — simply by inviting the Holy Spirit to guide and empower their life. On Sunday, May 11, we will celebrate Pentecost—the day that the Holy Spirit came. The Holy Spirit gives us the power to be a Witness for Jesus by making it possible for us to produce the fruit of a Holy Life: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Bible passages aren’t what really impress Non-Christians—the fruit of the Holy Spirit is what makes our witness for Jesus real and powerful. Please make sure that you keep your life filled up with the greatest power of all—the Holy Spirit. Your Friend, Pastor Lee
