Come Holy Spirit: Embracing Hospitality & the Unexpected

May 25, 2025  •  Gary Sandberg

In this inspiring message from Pastor Gary, we explore the transformative power of unexpected hospitality and divine vision. Based on Acts 16:9–15 and John 14:23–29, Pastor Gary shares how Paul’s journey—marked by a divine vision among primarily women worshipers, including Lydia, a distinguished businesswoman—illustrates how the early Church grew through both giving and receiving hospitality.


The Holy Spirit infuses us with the words to declare, “Come Holy Spirit,” reminding us that God’s gifts are made known when we open our hearts. In a moment when the unexpected happens, Jesus shows us the way, and the Spirit inspires us to respond with gratitude and welcome.

How will you respond when the Spirit moves in your life? Join us as we celebrate the gift of hospitality and the unexpected work of God in our community.
