Imagine being infused with the confidence you’ve always wanted.

The confidence to speak up, to stand out, to step forward, and to be the most comfortable you have ever been in your own identity.

Imagine then that you are overwhelmed with the power to speak confidently and clearly about the thing that is most important to you, the Good News of Jesus and the knowledge that we are all wonderfully made, incredibly valued, and utterly love by God.

And it doesn’t matter who hears you, everyone understands.

Deep down in their bones. And all those who hear are changed and inspired.

As Christians we are called to remember Pentecost, the time when God’s Holy Spirit is sent into the world and touches the disciples who have been waiting. They receive the Holy Spirit and speak of God’s love and his son Jesus. And all are changed and inspired.

And we too have the Holy Spirit within us: Sent by God to encourage us and strengthen us in the world. Filling us that we might share God’s love and tell the story of who God is for us.

And when we are baptised, or anointed, or share in Communion, we remind ourselves that we are all part of God’s family and all able to call on the Holy Spirit.
