God's Spoken Language

Posted by Good Shepherd Lutheran Church on

On Pentecost, Christians often celebrate the “birthday” of the church. But as Pastor Johann reminds us in today's message, the events of Pentecost can also be understood as reminder that God desires unity, not uniformity. God chooses to meet each and every one of us where we are, in the collage of human diversity.
