5th. Sunday of Easter - United in the Spirit!

This week's focus is on the unity all people have in Christ through the gift of the Holy Spirit. In our Acts reading Acts 11:1-18  we hear that the Holy Spirit helped Peter to understand this. He was encouraged to eat things, and spend time with people, he usually wouldn't. The message God's Holy Spirit was bringing was that God's family would include people from all nations. Peter had to overcome rules he had lived by his whole life, because God's Holy Spirit showed him they were no longer as important as faith and love in Jesus Christ. What 'rules' do you follow today that might not be as important as they seem? How might the Spirit of God shine a different light on them? Can you think of new ways to express your faith and love in Jesus Christ? This week, try to share Jesus' love with someone who might not know Him yet! It might be as simple as taking the time to listen to someone, or saying 'Good Morning' to your neighbour. See where the Holy Spirit leads you!

The message is from LCA.
