Life Through the Holy Spirit





Pastor Renee Ford and Mikayla Castellano

In this morning’s sermon, Pastor Renee Ford talked about “An Apostle’s Tale: Freedom” from Romans 8:1-11.
 

In these verses, Apostle Paul talks about the freedom of being released from condemnation when we believe in Jesus. Jesus died on the cross for our sins so we could be forgiven when we sin against God.

Through the Holy Spirit, God ministers to us, enabling us to make changes in our lives. The Spirit empowers us to do the work of God, and even though we will die a physical death, we will live forever in God’s kingdom.

With the Holy Spirit, our growth will help us share God’s love with others.

We had a special visitor today, Mikayla Castellano, who was a camp counselor this summer at Camp Kanesatake where she ministered to 30 girls, ages 8-16. Mikayla is returning to Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP) where she will graduate in May 2018 with a degree in Special Education.

Pastor Renee Ford is the pastor for Grays United Methodist Church, Houserville House of Hope, and Woodycrest United Methodist Church. She is also an Instructional Designer for the Department of eLearning Design and Innovation Group in the Smeal College of Business at Penn State.
