A Message from Rev Ian Weeks

Preparing For Pentecost – The Spirit of Hope

The Promise of Jesus: John 14:15 – 26

Our Gospel is the good news of hope – a real hope for justice, righteousness, and the end of all evil, suffering, and pain. This real hope is made possible for us by God’s actions in Christ Jesus – his death and resurrection. This hope is made real in us by the work of the Holy Spirit.

In John 14, Jesus promises that the Holy Spirit will come to be a Counsellor (guide and advisor) for the disciples who will be left alone (they think) when Jesus is taken away.  The Holy Spirit would take the place of Jesus as their teacher, leader, companion and guide, forever living in them, connecting them with God the Father in a personal relationship. He would lead them into all truth and embed the hope of the Gospel in them.

The Holy Spirit has many roles, one of which is to be the presence of Jesus in us! We are not alone! The Holy Spirit connects us with our Heavenly Father, and fills us with that settled confidence in the hope of the Gospel. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Jesus abiding in us, as Jesus reigns in glory at the right hand of the Father. The Holy Spirit makes His home in us, to transform us and make us more like Jesus. The Holy Spirit is our teacher, counsellor, guide and strength.

The Holy Spirit gives us hope in this world: the assurance that God has not abandoned us, not left us alone to cope with all that we face in this life; but has given us the gift of His presence and strength.

As we celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost next Sunday, I hope and pray that this same Holy Spirit will strengthen you and empower you to live for God’s glory today, and every day. For as Jesus promised:

“ ..the Father, will give you another Counsellor to be with you forever— the Spirit of truth.  The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.” John 14:16.17

May Mission of the Month

“Celebrating 100 years in outback Australia.

Remote Australia has faced some extraordinary challenges recently. The devastation of both floods and cyclone left a trail of damage and heartache for many remote families and at times, whole communities.

The impact was deep, both financially and emotionally, as many in remote areas were left not only to rebuild homes and fences, but also their livelihoods.

We were there before the devastation and we continued to be there as the long recovery process unfolded.  We are still there today.”
