Jake Riebel gave the Communion Meditation during the last meeting of Colony Church.
We believe that we are undeserving of the grace we’ve been given but that we should show that same grace to others. A blameless man died so we don’t have to die or live in anguish. As a church, we believe that we share this bread and cup until we can eagerly share it with Jesus in Heaven. (Ref: Luke 22:14-20)
Pastor Chase Riebel gave the sermon “The Ascension” over Acts 1:6-11. The ascension of Jesus gives us: 1. The Holy Spirit; 2. Completion of redemption; 3. The knowledge that he is coming back.
When the Holy Spirit came over the believers, they were able to speak in other languages. This allowed them to spread the Good News so everyone could understand.
Jesus said that if he didn’t go away, then the Advocate wouldn’t come. The Holy Spirit is there all the time if you put your trust in Jesus.
Too many times, the Holy Spirit is speaking to us, but we’re silencing it. We need to listen closely and be more in tune with it. God gave us the Holy Spirit to help us do the work he wants us to do while we are here on earth
But Jesus is coming back, so keep watch and be ready. We are told to be patient as we wait for his return and continue the work Jesus gave us until he does return.
