    Today, we celebrate the birth of the church, Universal. The Holy spirit launches the message of Christ into the world through a newly empowered people. It has been the case through the early church, the two greatest celebrations, first being Easter, the second being Pentecost, which may surprise some, has somewhat become culturally invisible, at least amongst protestants.

  • A Disciple’s Faith
    May 4 2025
    Mark, starting in Mark 10. We’re looking at what it means to walk by faith. What is a disciple’s faith? We use that word all of the time.

That’s what we’re looking at this morning as we look to the reading of God’s word. If you
