Fire and Breath: Breath For Mission - Jo Leutton
from Riverlife Messages · host Jo Leutton, Riverlife Baptist Church
Explore the tension between dwelling deeply with Jesus and being sent out into the world with what we've received. Ever felt torn between the two, wanting to stay close to Jesus, yet knowing you're meant to go and share what you've experienced? That's the beautiful tension of Pentecost. In this message, we journey from Genesis to Ezekiel's valley of dry bones, landing in that upper room where 120 believers waited for something they couldn't quite imagine. When the wind of God blew through that space, everything changed, not just for them, but for the next 2,000 years of church history. We discover that whether you're in the valley of dry bones feeling like life has dried up, in the upper room needing a fresh filling, or standing at the threshold wondering if you're ready to step out, Pentecost is God's invitation to meet you exactly where you are. The scandalous good news? You don't have to work your way through some spiritual checklist. God's breath brings life, his Spirit brings power, and his grace is sufficient. **Bible Verses Referenced:** Mark 3:13-15, Acts 2:1-4, Genesis 1:2, Genesis 2:7, Ezekiel 37:1-14, Isaiah 40:31, John 16:7-11, Acts 2:42-47 CONNECT WITH RIVERLIFE CHURCH HERE ATInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/riverlifebaptistchurchFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/RiverlifeBaptistChurchWebsite: https://riverlifechurch.org.au

What this episode covers
On Pentecost Sunday, the message unpacks how the breath of God, the same Spirit that hovered over creation and raised dry bones to life, fills us and commissions us for His purposes. We're challenged to lean into both the dwelling and the sending, recognising that when we bring these together, God gets all the glory and His promises come to bear in our lives and our city.
