The hagios Nuematah (phonetic I know)

This Sunday the sermon series turns to the Holy Spirit: I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church.

I always thought of the Holy Spirit as Prince Albert in the Can, stuff you always have around but rarely really use. But what a disservice not to recognize the life giving spirit of mission and truth for the church!

I havent begun to write the sermon yet, will in about an hour or so. I want to play upon the Trouble Maker in Job and the Advocate/Helper in John. And Church universal, not something I have stressed much in my time in the pulpit - I must have a strong sectarian streak in my dna.

Have you read Molly Marshall's "Dancing with the Spirit?"

Give it a go.
