"For if I preach the gospel, I have no reason to boast, because an obligation, a compulsion is placed on me. And woe to me, I am miserable if I do not preach the gospel!"
1 Corinthians 9:16
For Father Michael Messina, the pastor of Risen Christ Holy Spirit Church, preaching the gospel is an action assignment from God; feeding the poor, ministering to the sick, supplying spiritual nourishment to parishioners. Spending unending hours of prayer, standing the gap for the souls of the Lord’s flock entrusted to him, is a way of life for Father Michael.
With a heart of thanksgiving, burdened with compassion, tempered by the worship of the liturgy and ignited by the Holy Spirit, Father Michael leads his charge with a steady hand of confidence, concise vision and reticulated efforts.
Ever moving forward against insurmountable odds, mountains of misunderstanding and religious bigotry, Father Michael carries the shield of faith and the sword of the Spirit valiantly. No matter the stature, position or station of any person, Pastor Michael Messina has an open ear and a tender heart of prayer to minister wholeness, healing and the love of our most precious, holy, risen Christ and His Holy Spirit.
His compelling love for Jesus is an inspiration to his staff of leaders and his messages truly speak his heart, always testifying to the glorious gospel of Jesus, the Risen Christ! Jesus said “Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.” Father Messina displays his heart with vulnerable honesty and trust.
Driven by the Holy Spirit, securely focused upon the goal and clothed in compassion, kindness, gentleness, humility and patience, the good Father Michael Messina brings faith, commitment, sound doctrine, regality and humor to his sermons, interaction amidst the ministries of the church and his assuring smile.
