When the day of Pentecost had come,
[The disciples] were all together in one place.
And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind,
And it filled the entire house where they were sitting.
Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them,
And a tongue rested on each of them.
All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit
And began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability.
“In the last days it will be, God declares,
That I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh,
And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
And your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
Even upon My slaves, both men and women,
In those days I will pour out My Spirit; and they shall prophesy.
Then everyone who calls on the Name of the Lord shall be saved.” – from Acts 2

Clap your hands, all you peoples;
Shout to God with loud songs of joy.
For the Lord, the Most High, is awesome,
A great King over all the earth.
He subdued peoples under us,
And nations under our feet.
He chose our heritage for us,
The pride of Jacob whom He loves.
God has gone up with a shout,
The Lord with the sound of a trumpet.
Sing praises to God, sing praises;
Sing praises to our King, sing praises.
For God is King of all the earth;
Sing praises with a psalm.
God is King over the nations;
God sits on His Holy Throne. – from Psalm 47

Happy Mother’s Day!

The Lord is my shepherd
I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside still waters;
He restores my soul.
He leads me in right paths for His Name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the darkest valley,
I fear no evil, for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff — they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me,
In the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life.
And I shall dwell in the House of the Lord
My whole life long. – Psalm 23

I will extol you, O Lord, for You have drawn me up,
And did not let my foes rejoice over me.
O Lord my God, I cried to You for help,
And You have healed me.
O Lord, You brought up my soul from Sheol,
Restored me to life from those gone down to the Pit.
Sing praises to the Lord, O you His faithful ones,
And give thanks to His Holy Name.
For His anger is but for a moment;
His favor is for a lifetime.
Weeping may linger for the night,
But joy comes with the morning.
You have turned my mourning into dancing;
You have taken off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,
So that my soul may praise You and not be silent.
O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever. – from Psalm 30

O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;
His steadfast love endures forever!
With the Lord on my side I do not fear.
What can mortals do to me?
The Lord is my strength and my might;
He has become my salvation.
There are glad songs of victory in the tents of the righteous:
“The right hand of the Lord does valiantly;
“The right hand of the Lord is exalted;
“The right hand of the Lord does valiantly.”
I shall not die, but I shall live,
And recount the deeds of the Lord.
I thank You that You have answered me
And have become my salvation.
The stone that the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone.
This is the Lord’s doing;
It is marvelous in our eyes. -from Psalm 118

We invite you to join us for our Easter Service at HVBC! Pastor Benjamin Wines brings the message, “What Are You Looking For?” We will be reading from Luke 24:1-12.

My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?
Why are You so far from helping me, from the words of my groaning?
O my God, I cry by day, but You do not answer;
And by night, but find no rest.
Yet You are holy,
Enthroned on the praises of Israel.
In You our ancestors trusted;
They trusted, and You delivered them.
To You they cried, and were saved;
In You they trusted, and were not put to shame.
I am poured out like water,
And all my bones are out of joint;
My heart is like wax;
It is melted within my breast;
My mouth is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to my jaws;
You lay me in the dust of death.
But You, O Lord, do not be far away!
O my Help, come quickly to my aid! from Psalm 22
