How Can This Be?

When the Holy Spirit acts, people often ask, "How can this be?" It was asked by many on the day the Holy Spirit birthed the church. The city was full of people from many places and of many languages. Suddenly this diverse group of people began to hear the good news of the gospel in their own languages! They just couldn't understand how this could be, yet they were hearing it with their own ears.

The first time I worshiped at Resurrection MCC in Houston, I found myself asking the same question. I was hearing it with my ears, seeing it with my eyes, and feeling it deep within my soul, but how could it be that there was a church for me? By the power of the Holy Spirit!

How can a minority of Christians understand what the Bible really says about homosexuality? By the power of the Holy Spirit!

How could a virgin conceive a child? By the power of the Holy Spirit!

How could a few disciples fulfill the commandment of Christ to take the gospel into all the world? By the power of the Holy Spirit!

I must stop now or I'll be preaching my sermon right here! Join us Sunday as we celebrate the power of the Holy Spirit. In an act of unity with God's Spirit and each other, let's wear something red to church this week. Come experience the power that still changes lives, churches, and the world.
