Season of Easter — Pentecost 2009 (B)

In this renewing season of commencement from Easter through Pentecost, we are re-formed in the Resurrection and the Life in the Spirit of Christ

Living in the Light of the Resurrection and the Life

As we approach the Ascension of the Lord in this season following Easter and leading up to the Day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit came upon the many believers in Christ, we reflect on how God calls us to live in the light of the resurrection and the life of Jesus—the way, the truth, and the life.

In the renewing and refreshingly revitalizing movement of the Holy Spirit among us, the Word tells us that we shall be His witnesses "in Jerusalem, in Judea and Samaria, and to the very ends of the whole earth." (see Acts 1:8)

Our Lord calls us to hear, believe, repent, confess, be baptized, bear fruit, be witnesses and receive the power to do so for God's glory here at First Presbyterian Church, in New Castle, Henry County, Indiana, the United States, North America and beyond in this whole wide world, to the very ends of the earth. 

This week and in the next months, as we continue venturing with new initiatives, let us witness together in the Lord ministering in our midst!!!  Glory to God!
