"Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit." Galatians 5:25

 

Dear St. Paul's,

 

Pentecost is the season when we celebrate the Holy Spirit filling the disciples. Then the Holy Spirit spread like wildfire, and the church grew by leaps and bounds.  The Lord keeps reminding me of Galatians 5:25, and that He wa

JGR

nts St. Paul's to be a people who "live by the Spirit".  We don't want to presume that the Holy Spirit is empowering everything we do and say.  Instead, we want to be a people who intentionally seek the direction of the Spirit, every day of our lives. 

 

And the Lord keeps whispering in my ear (and sometimes it's louder than a whisper) "let us keep in step with the Spirit."  I'm hearing the Lord telling me that there's a unique rhythm and a cadence to the way the Spirit moves.  Sometimes the Spirit will move faster than we want to go, and at other times, slower.  Our challenge is to recognize the speed and direction of the Spirit's movement, and to stay in step with Him.

 

I see the Spirit moving at St. Paul's through the joyful newcomers joining us for worship on Sundays.  I see the Spirit working through you all as you reach out to them with love and compassion.  I see the Spirit moving through the Petty's move to Charlottesville to plant a new church.  As new as St. Paul's is, the Lord has used us to help plant a new church.  How amazing is that?  And I hear the Holy Spirit calling us to a new a new church home.  We don't know exactly where that new home is yet, but I hope that you will join us in prayer as we listen to the Lord and follow His call on our lives.

 

Please do not hesitate to call me or any on the vestry should you have any questions about this new exciting development in the life of our congregation.

 

Gratefully in Christ,

 

Pastor Jon
