St. Johns Church

"The apostles dedicated themselves, because they really wanted to hear from the Holy Spirit. And I think the best way for us to understand where God is leading us is to pray, to quiet ourselves, to listen, to wait, to fast, to do it together with other people, all listening together, all focused together, all in prayer together. The Holy Spirit does speak, but the church in Antioch shows us that God's voice is clearest to us when we take the time, when we slow down, quiet down, listen together. That's what the people did."

"We are free. We have been purchased by the blood of Jesus Christ, lovingly shed for us. We get to offer words of hope in a hopeless world. We get to be the light in a dark world. We get to spice up and preserve a dying, decaying world. So, respond to the call. Put on the full armor of God, and continue that tradition that we read about in Acts. Go and speak boldly. Go and speak truth. Go and conquer the enemy. Go conquer the darkness. Go and bring glory to our Lord and our Savior Jesus Christ."
