Focus:  The Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of life, proceeds from the Father and the Son.  He is the movement of the Word in the World, and He has been sent to us, in our baptism, as our Helper.  He lives in us and through us, and motivates our living out the reality of the Gospel in all we do, and the sharing of the Gospel with our neighbors.  How do we, as those filled with the Holy Spirit, respond? Main Text: John 15:26-27, 16:7-15

Focus:  Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, Our Lord, came to live with us, was crucified, died and was buried, to pay for all of our sin, once and for all.  Because of Him, we are reconciled to God, the separation that our sin caused is gone, and our relationship is restored.  How do we, as reconciled brothers and sisters of Christ, respond? Main Text: Colossians 1:15-22

Focus:  God, the Father, is the Creator of Heaven and Earth.  So, what does that make us?  How do we, as creatures, respond to the great I Am?  All of the works of His hands declare His glory, how can we?  Main Text: Acts 17:22-28

The engaged life is a life of worshipping the one true God.  In everything we do, we honor God, or someone else.  Our worship begins as a community, as we “join together to focus on Jesus, offer Him praise, and allow Him the space to speak to us.”  We receive the gifts God gives in weekly worship gatherings, and this posture of worshipping God extends through our week as the Holy Spirit impels us to worship God in everything we say and do.

The angels refrain, spoken to the women at the empty tomb, is just as relevant today as it was 2,000 years ago.
