Pastor Gregg Brown's Sermon:  "Holy Spirit Fire" Pentecost Sunday    Acts 2: 1-17

Miracles of Faith Community Church(ELCA) Oakland, CA. 
Psalm 24: 4-5 
4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. 
5 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. 
'The Life You Live' should be bound up searching all treasures of wisdom and truth and holiness through constant fellowship within your soul and God's grace's: 
The grace of a thankful heart: 
The grace of patience: 
The grace of boldness standing for what is right: 
The grace of charity: 
The grace of silence: 
above all, The Life You Live should be grounded in forgiveness and repentance continuing in steadfast prayer. 
above all, The Life You Live must take refuge in the thought that God is utterly beyond the gasp of your imagination, beyond the comprehension of your feeble mind and that's why the Psalmist declares that those who seek him will be in the company of The Lord, strong and mighty, lifted up high at the ancient gates, the doors opened for us to be at home--eternally with the King of glory. Who is the King of glory? 
 THE LORD OF HOSTS, 
 HE IS THE KING OF GLORY. 
Let not the sins of yesterday be repeated in the Life of today, nor let the Life of today, set any misguided example to the Life you Live tomorrow!!!

Pastor Gregg Brown's Sermon:  'The Life You Live'.  Psalm 24: 4-5

A message of Hope coming from our house to yours! With COVID numbers on the rise, we are sheltering in place like many of you. But we are not alone, our God remains a constant source of hope, joy, love and peace as we usher in the Advent season in preparation of the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 
 
Today also begins a celebration of the 40 faithful years our Pastor has been an ordained minister. Miracles of Faith Community Church(ELCA) in Oakland continues a fundraiser in his honor. We are more than halfway to our goal of $4000 to provide Thanksgiving and Christmas food boxes and Christmas gifts to those in need. This week we were able to help 80+ families and individuals with turkeys, large chicken roasters and boxes overflowing with all the Thanksgiving trimmings. The need is great, our desire to help is greater, and our God's ability to provide is the greatest! 
 
Over the next few weeks we will hear words of encouragement and gratitude from Bishop Mark Holmerud, Rev. Dr. T. Garrott Benjamin, Rev. Dr. James Forbes, Jr., and Rev. Dr. James Thomas as our celebration of Pastor Brown's 40 years continues, culminating on December 13th. Please continue to send your cards and special offerings. God bless you everyone who has already mailed them to Pastor Gregg. They have lifted his spirit and helped in get through a very long week of serving others. 
 
We hope today's service lifts your spirit as well. Give thanks with a grateful heart!!!

Pastor Gregg Brown sermon:  O' GIVE THANKS!  Psalm 100:3-4

IN THAT DAY (Isaiah 7: 1 – 16) 
IN THAT DAY…during Ahaz’s time, political crisis came about because the country of Judah was threatened by opposition from two other big countries: Israel and Syria. Israel thought of itself as a land of believers, while Syria claimed no relationship with God at all. Now both countries had only one thing in mind, to secure the best land on the other side of the Jordan. King Ahaz was feeling the fall of his throne and sought a meeting with Isaiah. Isaiah assured Ahaz that God would not let his enemies win. God would send a sign of His promise. Let those who will not believe the promises of God, expect to hear His trumpet; for who can resist or escape Yahweh's judgments? 'In That Day' the Lord shall sweep all away; and whomever he chooses in any service for him, he will pay. All speaks a sad change of the face of that pleasant land. But what melancholy change is there, which sin will not make with a people? Agriculture would cease. Sorrows of every kind will come upon all who neglect the great salvation. If we remain unfruitful under the means of grace, the Lord will say, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforth forever. But Ahaz refused to ask God for reassurance, so God provided The Sign: 
 That a young woman, one who can give birth, has conceived---in the Hebrew is in the past tense. We find this verse quoted later in the New Testament (Matthew 1:23 and Luke 1: 27) when Jesus was born. 
 
‘In That Day’ Isaiah encourages the people of Israel to trust in God and trust in God’s Word assuring them that things will get better in the days ahead. The Church also longs for a better day. We long for a glimpse of the Messiah and the new world of peace and justice and righteousness. In that day, God ultimately gave the sign of hope. Jesus the Christ, both human and divine. 
 
‘IN THAT DAY’ is in the future perfect tense, which is the sign TODAY IS THAT DAY!!!
