For the past four months we have been talking about the
foundation of the church; prayer, scripture and Spirit. It all culminated on
Pentecost Sunday when we looked at the importance of the power and wisdom of
the Spirit. Many were able to speak in the native tongues of those gathered
that day, people from all around the Mediterranean, Africa, Europe and Asia.
God knew that if His message was to go out into all the nations, it needed to
be heard in the language of those gathered. In that He equipped those gathered
to be able to communicate the Message to all who were gathered and He gave
Peter the courage to speak to thousands in a hostile environment.
The foundation of the early Christian church was founded on
three things; prayer, scripture and the power of the Spirit. Prayer;
praise and petition sent up to the Father, Creator of all things and all
mankind. Scripture; the Word of God, Jesus Christ (In the beginning was
the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1).
Holy Spirit; …the Helper (Comforter, Advocate,
Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, whom the Father
will send in My name, He will teach you all things. And He will help you
remember everything that I have told you. John 14:26.
By the Father I am
created, by the Son I am saved, in the Spirit I shall live! JTM
We are blessed and all God’s children declare He is King!
Blessings
Pastor Todd
