~ Pastor Barry brings us our Sunday message.
There are three “mega-festivals” commemorated in the Christian calendar. The first two, Christmas and Easter, are well know to both believers and non-believers. But it’s possible that even Christians may not be as familiar with the third, the festival of Pentecost.
God the Father’s wonderful Christmas git of His one and only Son, and Christ’s Easter triumph over the power of sin, death, and the devil would be of no benefit to us if the Holy Spirit did not give us the gift of saving faith, The Holy Spirit gives us the faith to believe and trust in Christ our Savior. This precious gift of faith in the saving work of our Lord Jesus Christ is the reason Pentecost is the third “mega-festival” of the church and why we celebrate it with such joy and thanksgiving. Pentecost is about a plan, God’s plan.
