“The Personal Message of Pentecost”
Pastor M. Aufdemberge - May 24th, 2026
When the disciples were distressed about Jesus ascending into heaven, he assured them, “It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you” (John 16:7). That Advocate is the Holy Spirit who is sent to comfort, strengthen, and transform us.
The Spirit provides faith and purpose for life. Pentecost, the celebration of the special arrival of the Holy Spirit, is the third great festival of the Church, along with the Nativity and the Resurrection. Pentecost closes the fifty-day period after Easter and ends the festival half of the church year. The Church uses red on the altar for this festival to commemorate the tongues of fire that marked the Spirit’s gift.
“This Same Jesus”
Pastor J. Zarling - May 17th, 2026
The darkness of Lent was dispelled by the light of Jesus’ resurrection. For forty days, the Church had cried, “Christ is risen! He is risen indeed!” But forty days after Jesus rose from the dead, he departed from his disciples and was enthroned in glory in heaven. From heaven he rules all things as our Lord and King. Today we celebrate the day he ascended to glory. But he promised not to leave his disciples alone. He promised to send them the Holy Spirit. They waited ten more days, and then on the Festival of Pentecost (“fiftieth day”) they saw Jesus’ promise made good. Next Sunday, we will celebrate that 50th day, the day of Pentecost. Today we rejoice that is work is completed and he rules in heaven.
