Broadcast<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n While We Wait - Part 1\n John 15:26-27\n 05\/18\/2026\n\n\n 26 But when the Helper comes, whom I will send to you\n from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds\n from the Father, he will bear witness about me.\n 27 And you also will bear witness, because you have\n been with me from the beginning. (ESV)\n\n This past Sunday is often called the ``Sunday of Waiting.''\n Christ Jesus has ascended into heaven, yet the Holy Spirit has\n not yet visibly descended on the disciples. The Collect, or\n prayer for Sunday, reflects the Church longing for the presence\n of God.\n O King of glory, Lord of hosts, uplifted in triumph far\n above all heavens, leave us not without consolation but\n send us the Spirit of truth whom You promised from the\n Father; for You live and reign with Him and the Holy\n Spirit, one God, now and forever.\n\n\n There is a reason the disciples, and the Church, can ask\n Jesus to send the Holy Spirit to be our guide, advocate, and\n comforter. On the night Jesus was betrayed, He told His\n disciples:\n But when the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from\n the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the\n Father, he will bear witness about me. And you also\n will bear witness, because you have been with me from\n the beginning.\n\n\n Therefore the Church waits, knowing that the Holy Spirit\n comes to create and sustain the faith of each Christian. As with\n many aspects of Christianity, there is the tension of the promise\n which is not yet fulfilled.\n\n May our Lord grant us patience as we await His coming, even\n as the disciples waited for the coming of the Holy Spirit. Amen.<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"May 18, 2026 Broadcast<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4832","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-turn-your-radio-on-2026"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4832","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4832"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4832\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4842,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4832\/revisions\/4842"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4832"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4832"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4832"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
