That means that each of us has a specific calling upon our life and in terms of the big picture, which makes each of us essential to the Body of Christ. When one of us neglects that calling, the rest of us are affected. When each of us pursues that purpose, the world is changed. http://www.sermoncloud.com/mt-bethel-umc/gifts-of-the-spirit http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/992/gifts-of-the-spirit.mp3 Sun, 14 Jun 2009 21:47:38 GMT Alex Stroud Each of us is granted gifts by the Holy Spirit – special ways that we have been equipped by God.

Since the beginning, the Holy Spirit has been among us, having hovered over the waters before creation. Pentecost was a NEW experience of the Holy Spirit, which has proven to be untamed, unpredictable, elusive, and dangerous, but also that which empowers us as God’s children. Each day is a new experience of the Holy Spirit and we should pursue it through our lives. http://www.sermoncloud.com/mt-bethel-umc/a-new-experience http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/992/a-new-experience.mp3 Sun, 31 May 2009 21:21:00 GMT Alex Stroud As we remember the Pentecost, we look at who God is as the Holy Spirit.
