"The question for us is: do we heed that call to pursue something that we don’t know where it’s going?"– Pastor Alex

This week, Pastor Alex encourages us to follow the places where we feel the Holy Spirit calling, recognizing that the Spirit calls us to new paths in partnership with God.

Reading Ranter Writings Pt.16 - Divine Sovereignty and the Ranters

On this special Pentecost Sunday, we reflect on the incredible blessings God has poured out on this church family—from humble beginnings in an apartment gathering to this beautiful new space. But today’s message asks a crucial question: “Whose accomplishment is it?”

Pastor shares a powerful personal story about his dad running an ultra-marathon—a reminder of the hard-earned sense of accomplishment we feel after doing something difficult. But in moments of visible success, we’re warned to be on guard against the subtle temptation of pride. The truth is: every victory, every step forward, every act of faith—we owe it all to God.

🔥 Pentecost reminds us that it is the Holy Spirit—not our clever strategies or personal efforts—who builds the Church, who strengthens faith, and who works through Word and Sacrament just as God promised.

This sermon is a call to gratitude, not pride. A call to give glory where it is due—to our Triune God who saved us, blesses us, and works through us. The mission isn’t done. The Holy Spirit is still at work… through you.

🙌 Join us in celebrating what God has done—and continues to do—through His people and His promises.
