Faithful Presence

In this devotional message Pastor Jim preaches on God's faithful presence.  After Pentecost and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, the apostles Peter and John were confronted and questioned by the ruling authorities in the temple courts for healing a lame man. As recorded in Acts 4:5-24a, 31-35, the faithful presence of God was with them as well as with the believers who gathered together in the unity of the Holy Spirit. In addition, people in the local community witnessed God working in them and through them. All of which reminds us of how we are created to live vibrant and dynamic lives sustained by the very presence of God as we go out into the world empowered by the Spirit.
