"Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”" Matthew 28:18-20 NLT

Although I'm late to say this, happy Pentecost Sunday, everyone! On Pentecost Sunday, everything changed when God gave us the Holy Spirit to live within us. Believers no longer have to go into a temple to be in the presence of God, to receive healing, care, and atonement for their sins. God made us the new Temple of God after Jesus died and was raised from the dead to save us from our sins. Now, we as Believers are how heaven meets earth, how people can come to know God, how they can receive healing from Him, how they can listen to Him, and more. We are also given the power to share the truth with others across the entire world just as Jesus commanded. And no matter what, as Jesus promised, He will always be with us no matter what, even as we share God's Word with Non-Believers. All these things are possible thanks to God and the power of His Spirit working through us. Here's a post from the Youversion Bible App to further add to this. As I said before, I highly recommend giving it a try since it has a lot of cool features, such as Read Aloud, Guided Scriptures and Prayers, multiple translations, Bible Plans, and more that helps people be more engaged with the Bible as they read. And please let these words resonate with you instead of simply reading this and then immediately going to do something else and forget. Meditate, think about the deeper meaning behind Jesus's words, ask God to help you see this from His perspective, and wait for Him to speak to you; pay attention to what comes to mind that's related to this. He always hears and answers our prayers. Have a blessed week, everyone!

But for now, I'll leave you with this link to a small devotional that explains 6 ways you can hear from God in the YouVersion Bible App (not sponsoring, just like the app). I highly encourage you to take a look. And if you can't read everything all in one sitting, that's fine! Just take things one step at a time and at least read some today, more tomorrow. If you don't have the app and can't download it (and if the link doesn't lead to their website), please let me know so that way I can simply copy paste what it says in the comments if you want, and so I can see if whether I should post less links to the app in Announcements. Anyways, please listen to what the Spirit is trying to tell you. What is He saying? Have a blessed week, everyone!

Next week is Pentecost Sunday, the day when God gave us the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives. But as of now, this is the season of waiting where the disciples were waiting for Jesus's promise of His Spirit's coming. Can you imagine how it must've felt like for the disciples to see their best friend alive again after dying on a cross, spending about 40 days with Him, and then waiting for His promise to come true after He told them about what was about to happen before ascending to Heaven? Not only that, but they were also waiting to receive power from the Holy Spirit BEFORE fulfilling the mission Jesus gave them and to us: to share the Gospel with the whole world, making more disciples and baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. They had to wait because, just like us today, they needed the Holy Spirit's power to enable them to share the Gospel and minister to others. God knows that we can NOT do this task on our own. We're simply incapable. But with God, all things are possible. It is only by the Spirit when we can understand Jesus's teachings. It is only by the Spirit when we can see how Scripture writings (from both Testaments) by ancient writers can relate to us today. It is only by the Spirit where we can tell others about Jesus, hear and understand what God it trying to tell us, and more.

Happy Mother's Day, everyone! 
          Whether a mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, dog mom, etc., treat all your moms well today and every day. Let them know how much they mean to you for those very close to their moms (or close friends with mothers). For those who aren't close to one or any of their moms, I may not know your situation, but something that I do know is that because God forgave us for our crimes (sins) against Him and loved us so much that He sent is one and only Son to die to take on our punishment, we are now forgiven and enabled to follow His example of loving and forgiving others even though they themselves are unwilling to change. Forgiveness is a gift that you can give to the other person, so consider giving your mom this great gift God's given us. For those who no longer have a mother due to divorce, loss, or any else and is still grieving, may God give you comfort and strength, and I encourage you to not hide or bottle up your emotions. Grieve as you need to, even if it seems embarrassing or impractical, and be honest with those around you and yourself and don't pretend to be ok if you're really not. Finally, if you never had a mother or any other mom, I pray that God may allow you to see who in your life as acted like a motherly figure to you, so that you can show your gratitude, appreciation, and love to them. 
          Even after Mother's Day is over, never stop loving your moms or anyone else close to you, and always show and tell them how much you love them. I'll leave you all with a Bible verse and these videos in the comments to reflect on. Thank you to all the mothers out there for all the labor, hard work, stressful, and painful moments you had to go through, and for showing your love ones patience, forgiveness, and love like our Savior, even when it cost you. Compassion, although it will cost you, it will also bless you. I know the day is nearly already over but have a great Mother's Day and rest of your week, everyone! God bless us all!

I know I'm very late to say this, but Happy Star Wars Day! Also, I know that I posted a Bible verse not that long ago, but I think God wanted me to share these verses, video, and something a little extra with you today. Who knows, maybe at least someone reading this needed to here this message today. 
          
          Matthew 25; Mark 12–13; Luke 21
          
          https://youtu.be/ajJFvFKfyjY?si=mZe0Dt08oLjOPSlO
          
          Do not be anxious. Don't wait till it's too late; until the day of Jesus's return. God wants you to repent of your sins, and use the faith He has given you and multiply it. Share it and His love with others. Cause when He returns, He will judge the world and condemn the wicked; those who do not love Him nor keep His commands. Remember the greatest commands in the entire Bible, which is the foundation of all of the Law and the prophets: love the Lord your God with all of your heart, soul, mind, and strength, and love your neighbor as yourself. He wants all to turn to Him and repent, no matter your situation, status, or how you are. You don't need to have it all figured out or do anything special to follow Him, learn about the Bible, or come to church. He invites you to come as you are. Hope these words have impacted you, and have a great day/night, everyone!

"[28] Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. [29] Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. [30] For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”"

Hey, everyone. For this week's Scripture, I'll leave these links below for those who wants to take a closer look. You don't have to look at everything all at once, but at least see and listen what the Holy Spirit is trying to tell you. What stands out to you? And I don't know your current situations, but the One who does placed something into my heart this week that I pray helps you too: just because you can't hear God, doesn't mean He can't hear you. Just because you can't feel His presence, doesn't mean He's not with you. Have a blessed week, everyone!

Happy Easter, everyone! He has risen! Today marks the end of Holy Week, and thank you for bearing with me and paying attention to my posts throughout the week, if anyone did. It means more than you may think. Below is the final Holy Week verse before I go back to posting like this only once a week. 
          
          For those interested, I'll also post a couple of links, including to the official "The Chosen" website, which is one of many ways to watch this amazing series based on the life of Jesus, and to a movie free on YouTube called "The Life of Jesus", based heavily on the Book of John. I highly encourage everyone to at least watch a few minutes of this movie or The Chosen. 
          
          The Chosen is my favorite TV series about Jesus because it shows the real Him: God and human in one, personal, and loving, like a true friend, closer than a brother. Every line and nearly every action in "The Life of Jesus" is directly quoted from the Book of John (literally every word), and is good for those reading the Gospel for the first time or already know it but want visuals. 
          
          Both the movie and series would help you see what it was like for people during that era during Jesus's earthly ministry. And sometimes, it's more understandable and easier to fully grasp what is written in Scripture if you actually see what's going on rather than only reading it, especially if you don't understand the historical and cultural context behind it. Anyways, please enjoy and have an amazing Easter & a blessed week, everyone!
