St. Simons Presbyterian Podcast

Our Lenten sermon series is titled, “Ancestry DNA: Knowing Where We Come From.” Each week, we are spending time tracing the DNA of our faith through the stories of some of the best (and least) known characters in the scriptures. At times, the people we meet and lessons we learn while climbing through that family tree may surprise us. But in exploring our biblical and theological ancestry we will also be inspired as we (re)discover once more “who” and “whose” we are.

Ponder Prayerfully: Hope for a New & Different Future “The Holy Spirit brings new creaturely life that is stronger than sickness and even death itself; gives new beginnings to people whose lives seem to be at a dead end; brings new wisdom and guidance from God; calls, holds together, and sends out a new reconciled and reconciling community called the church; works in the world to create a whole new humanity and a whole new creation. “When the Spirit breaks in, old ways of thinking and living are left behind and new ways of thinking and living begin to take over. Old boring, oppressive and dead social structures and insitutions are transformed into exciting new, liberating ones. It may not happen all at once, but when the Holy Spirit comes there is the dawn of a new day, hope for a new and different future, and courage and strength to move toward it.” -Shirley Guthrie
