💬 What Does It Mean to Wait on God? | Between Ascension and Pentecost We are in the sacred in-between—the 10 days between Ascension and Pentecost—and this video explores what it really means to wait during this time. Spoiler: it’s not about passively sitting around. Using the image of a great waiter—attentive, active, ready—we dive into how Jesus calls us to wait not with impatience, but with love in action. Drawing on John 13, Acts 1, Psalm 23, and the wisdom of St. Basil the Great, we reflect on: ✨ The difference between patience and active readiness ✨ What it means to be “filled full” rather than just fulfilled ✨ How we so often spill what God is pouring into us ✨ The call to love one another as Christ loved us Are you waiting like someone at a bus stop… or like a servant ready to open the door? This message will challenge and encourage you to use this time not to drift, but to serve, love, and prepare your heart—so that when the Holy Spirit comes at Pentecost, you’re holding a vessel ready to overflow with grace. ⛪️ Call to Action: Don’t just wait—wait actively. Love fully. Serve joyfully. Let’s help each other’s cups overflow. 🙌 “My cup overflows…” – Psalm 23 🔥 “Wait for the gift my Father promised…” – Acts 1:4 📌 Subscribe for more reflections and spiritual encouragement. #Pentecost #Ascension #ChristianReflection #SpiritualLife #HolySpirit #OrthodoxChurch #Jesus #LoveOneAnother (fb)

Check out last Sunday's message: Hebrews 12:2 – “fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” Jesus went with joy to endure the Cross because He wanted to ensure salvation for you. Our salvation rests not in our perfect focus—but in His. And because He did not waver, we can rise again when we fall. Let us fix our eyes on Him, who fixed His eyes on the Cross out of love for us.
