“The Holy Spirit Comes at Pentecost”
From Acts 2
1When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues[a] as the Spirit enabled them.

“Jehovah Nissi - The Lord Is My Banner”
From Mathew 11
8 The Amalekites came and attacked the Israelites at Rephidim. 9 Moses said to Joshua, “Choose some of our men and go out to fight the Amalekites. Tomorrow I will stand on top of the hill with the staff of God in my hands.”
10 So Joshua fought the Amalekites as Moses had ordered, and Moses, Aaron and Hur went to the top of the hill. 11 As long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were winning, but whenever he lowered his hands, the Amalekites were winning. 12 When Moses’ hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held his hands up—one on one side, one on the other—so that his hands remained steady till sunset. 13 So Joshua overcame the Amalekite army with the sword.
14 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Write this on a scroll as something to be remembered and make sure that Joshua hears it, because I will completely blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven.”
15 Moses built an altar and called it The LORD is my Banner.

 Good Shepherd’s Youth Group hit the links this evening for a fun night out at Newman’s Mini Golf. Sure, some of us scored better than others, but it’s not about the score, it’s about the fun of the game (except when you’re losing, of course).
 I don’t know what most of us liked more, the golfing or the ice cream afterwards. I know one person would have liked theirs a little more had the person making it not added an ingredient that wasn’t ordered (sorry, in-joke).
  For a pictorial view of the evening’s events, click the picture of Gale. Not sure what she’s so happy about, but it must’ve been something good. Maybe she got a hole-in-one. I know Jon got one, and on the windmill hole, nonetheless!
A friend sent this to me, and I thought I’d share. It’s really rather impressive!

Excellent Video……………………….
This soldier’s video is new and different. Every American should watch this, it’s worth a couple minutes of your time.
Our mission: we seek to grow in faith and knowledge of our Savior Jesus. We want to make him known to others so that they too may share the joys that Jesus won for them.?
WE BELIEVE
… that it’s by GRACE ALONE people are forgiven. We have peace with God and eternal life instead of guilt, fear and condemnation. Grace is God’s “undeserved love”.
… that it’s by FAITH ALONE this free gift of forgiveness is received by people. Faith is the God-created personal trust in all God has done for us by the life, death and victorious resurrection of His only Son, Jesus Christ.
… that it’s the SCRIPTURE ALONE that is the absolute source of truth. It is to be believed above human reason, experience or tradition. By “SCRIPTURE” we mean the Bible, the divinely inspired, inerrant Word of God.
… that New Life is God’s free gift to all who believe in Jesus Christ as their personal Savior from sin. Far from being a license to sin, we have been freed to serve God boldly, carefully, enthusiastically, in joy and peace.
We’re guided by the Word, built up in it, strengthened and renewed in God’s love through it. We look forward to a glorious, eternal life with Jesus Christ, the Lord.
