In a world filled with anxiety, fear, and nonstop bad news, many of us are tempted to cope through “doom spending”—buying things we don’t need just to feel something solid in an uncertain world.
But on Pentecost, God gave us something far more powerful than retail therapy: the gift of the Holy Spirit.
In this message, Pastor Mark Reynolds explores how the Spirit meets us in our fear, leads us with peace, and anchors us in a future filled with purpose—not panic. Through Scripture, stories, and practical insight, you’ll be reminded that:
- You are not alone in your struggles.
- You are a child of God and an heir with Christ.
- The Spirit is still being poured out—right here, right now.
- And in God’s family, no one is forgotten or left behind.
Whether you're feeling overwhelmed or simply need encouragement, this sermon will help you trade fear for faith and discover God's unshakable hope.
📖 Scripture: Acts 2:1–21; Romans 8

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
