Acts 2:1-13 NRSV. Today, Christians around the world celebrate Pentecost Sunday. In Acts 2, we see signs of the Holy Spirit operating in the corporate body of Christ – which is the miracle of Pentecost. When the Holy Spirit is present there is a welcoming environment and inclusion of ALL of God’s people, He allows for there to be unity in the midst of difference, and the Holy Spirit enables you to share the gospel with everybody you meet. We praise God that the Holy Spirit is present here at Covenant! Amen

Philippians 3:12-14 NRSV. What’s the thing that gets you out of bed in the morning, that shapes your decisions and fuels your efforts? All of us are pressing towards something whether we realize it or not. When all is said and done, will the goal you’ve been chasing satisfy you, or will it leave you wishing you had gone after something else? In Philippians 3, Paul talks about striving – not striving for status, success, or earthly rewards. It’s about a relentless pursuit of Jesus Christ. It’s about living with a perspective that reaches beyond this life and fixes its hope on eternity. Amen

John 9: 17-25 NRSV. “One thing I do know, that though I was blind, but now I see!” That is a one-thing proclamation that will change the world. What one thing do you know about what Jesus has done for you that you can share with someone else? Every Christian has a story to tell. Are you ready to tell your story to a dying world? Amen

Mark 10:17-22 NRSV. Does our wealth or our craving for it form a barrier to wholehearted devotion to God? What about your money and assets? Are you like, the rich young ruler – outwardly moral, yet inwardly controlled by material security? God might not call every person to sell all they have, but He does call each of us to live with open hands, ready to release whatever stands in the way of wholeheartedly loyalty to Him. Real worship arises when we divest ourselves of our supposed self-reliance and invest in God’s kingdom in the present and in the future. Amen.

Psalm 27:4 (NRSV). What is the one thing, above all things, you most want to live for? Life is full of many things and many of these things are good. But none of these things should be the one thing above all things that we most desire. Over the next few weeks, Pastor Wallace is going to ask you five “One Thing” questions. The “one-things” to which Jesus invites us, to which Jesus calls us, result in a many-things blessings from Him back to us. Today’s one-thing is Psalm 27:4. It’s a “one-thing” prayer to actively eek the presence of God on a regular basis. Amen.

Philippians 3:10 (NIV). Easter is about the power of the resurrection. Today’s text focuses on this one verse and challenge you to “live in the power of His resurrection.

Luke 19: 41-44 (NRSV). Luke’s account of the gospel is the only one in which Jesus sees the city and weeps. If tears and weeping are Jesus’ entry into Holy Week, maybe tears and weeping should be our entry into Holy Week. Pastor Wallace challenges us in this text to understand that although the city is Jerusalem, but it’s not about only a particular city. It’s more about a condition. It’ about our ignorance of “the things that make for peace,” and blindness to “the time of (our) visitation from God.” In our faith walk, it is important to know why Jesus wept. If you have been blessed from hearing this message, please support us by giving. Thanks and Amen.

Luke 10:1-10 (NIV). You are very important to God. Let that sink into your heart this morning. You are very important to God and that’s what this story tells us this morning. Zacchaeus was a lonely, very short little fellow, but he wanted to see Jesus. And then he was in for the surprise of his life, for as the Lord passed by, the Lord stopped, and he said, “Zacchaeus…come down immediately. I must stay at your house today.” The same is for us today. The Lord sees you today. He really sees and knows you – and Pastor Wallace can guarantee you on the authority of the Word of God, He wants you, because He loves you! Amen. Please donate to our ministry.
