Pastor Installation

Kara Stromberg, Superintendent of the Northwest Conference

Summary from PulpitAI:

In this installation service for Salem Covenant Church’s new pastor, Joe Florestano, Kara Stromberg speaks on the profound moment of Jesus’ baptism from Matthew 3. She draws connections between Jesus’ baptism and our own callings, emphasizing that both Jesus and we are loved by God and empowered by the Holy Spirit. Jesus’ identity as God’s beloved son sets the foundation for his ministry, reminding us that our worth does not come from our achievements, but from God’s unconditional love. How might understanding this foundational truth change how you view your own life and calling?

As you watch this installation service, consider the invitation to embrace your identity as God’s beloved, just as Jesus did. Reflect on how a conscious dependence on the Holy Spirit plays a vital role in your journey of faith. How can this time of new beginnings at Salem Covenant Church also be a personal call to deepen your relationship with Jesus?
