Pentecost is past and we now find ourselves living in a world which
has been gifted with the Holy Spirit. We affirm each Sunday that we
believe in the Holy Ghost, but it is very, very difficult to claim the
Holy Spirit as the animator behind our actions in contemporary churches.
It was ever thus. On the first Pentecost, some of the people in the
crowd thought the Apostles were drunk. Whenever God moves, there is
always ambiguity for those who seek it.
For those
called to the name Christian, however, our duty, our calling is to
proclaim the Holy Spirit as the motivator behind all we do. That's
sometimes tough to do because it treads on our pride. Join us for our
sermon this Sunday, "Uzziah, Isaiah" by clicking HERE for audio and HERE for text.
Community Presbyterian Church of Bellefonte, Kentucky, was built on the
casting floor of a 19th Century iron blast furnace. We use "The Casting
Floor" as an image for the power of the Spirit to form us. Visit us at
