Welcome to Jonesville UMC

This week at Jonesville UMC

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Filled with the Holy Spirit (Genesis 11:1-9; Acts 2:1-8)

“All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability.” (Acts 2:4)

It is quite interesting to look at the story on Pentecost in comparison with the story of the Babel Tower from Genesis.  On Pentecost day as they gathered and prayed together, the Holy Spirit came down upon them and led people to speak other languages so that they were able to communicate with one another. Whereas, in the story of the Babel Tower, as they were trying to build a city and raise their own names high, God came down to confuse their language so that they would not understand one another’s speech.  On one hand we see how the Holy Spirit works wondrously to empower people to accomplish God’s plan, and on the other hand, we see how the Holy Spirit works wondrously to disempower people if it is going against God’s plan.  Let us get together, appreciate, and be thankful for the still wonderous working of the Holy Spirit within us and among us.

Come and join us in the Jonesville UMC Sunday Service at 9:30am or meet us in the streaming service at Jonesvilleumc.org at the same time.

Blessings,                                                                                                                                                                                               Youngjae
