Pentecost Sunday

Luke 24:46-48
Luke 11:13
Acts 2:38
John 16:7

The church should be a continuation of the incarnation. The power that was in Jesus is now residing in millions of His followers, and so in that sense Jesus said it is better that He go so that as the church we can do greater things, reach more people.

Acts 8:14-17

Greek word: baptisio... Means to dip

Just like back in the day in the big trade of cloth dying, the cloth was dipped in the dye and the cloth took on the characteristics of the dye; the cloth was in the dye and the dye was in the cloth. In like manner the holy spirit indwells in the believer and the believer takes on the characteristics of Him.

There holy spirit wakes us up to God's Word. He can take the word written thousands on years ago to someone else, and make it applicable and relevant to your life today.
He brings everything back to memory.

Romans 8:26-27
John 11:33
Ephesians 5:18-20

There holy spirit encourages believers to worship.

The holy spirit enables us to live free.

Romans 8:12-13
Mark 16:17-18

Jesus asked is it easier to heal or say your sins are forgiven? It's easier to say your sins are forgiven because you can't see sin. But to heal? That demonstrates the power in you. So Jesus healed and said go, your sins are forgiven... If he can heal you, surely he can forgive your sins.

Acts 1:8

So believers, ask for the Holy Spirit in you, and demonstrate the power of God to prove what you say.

Luke 11:9-13

Today

Today David my brother in law who is visiting us for the summer, found a ticket on the train to Chicago. Soon after we arrived and left the train, a man came up asking for help in buying a ticket for the train. David had one! Praise God that this you g man now had this ticket, as God provides opportnities like this to impact the world in a positive way. Mom Reyes, my mom in law, told me a story about a homeless veteran who died outside in the winter months in Alexandria. She said that he was offered help and was off the streets for six months, but after that time he was back homeless. Mom said that the man, Jimmy, may have had trouble with his mind. He may have had trouble keeping a job in his state of mind. That's tragic.

Today at work, I was searching for a solution to a project, regarding calculating of shipping to Canada with Google Checkout, and was browsing in FireFox, with some search results open in a window. I was then about to open up an Internet Explorer window, which had some examples to resolve the issue at hand, though in XML code, which was different than what I use at work, but felt in my hear not to open that window, but to continue searching in FireFox. After continuing to search in FireFox, the next search result I opened included an example to Canada with the code which I use. Weeeeoeoeoeooewoowowowowowowoow owwoowowowo. Obedience to the Lord is woowowowowoowowoeooeooeooewoowo eowoowoeoowowwwowowowo awesome.

Sermon notes from Citw

Joy to the world the Lord has come Based on psalm 98 God’s promises are truly,  unlike men's promises. His second coming is at hand. 2 Peter 3:9-11 He's waiting for us to speed the Gospel. We are stewards of the mysteries. Have you been faithful in that stewardship? Live a life of evangelism. Share the Gospel. Christmas is a good time to also celebrate Christ's second coming. The celebration has been twisted by Satan to become commercialized and a frantic,  stressful time. The Lord's second coming should not be a fearful awaiting... Stashing food and weapons... But you should love His appearing. Rev 21:4-5 1 Cor 15:58 Rev 20:9 Always examine your life in light of his return. Acts 1:11 Live with intensity. Are you going to live knowing that Jesus could come back this year? Will you live this new year like you lived this past year? If so, you're likely to get the same result. The saved are born twice and die once and are raised in the first resurrection...
