Sermon Scripture: Acts 2:1–21

On the day of Pentecost, we are reminded that the Holy Spirit will not be confined to temples or sleep on altars, nor will it be limited to a special, select few, instead it will be for all people and in all places. For some reason however, this was not the experience for most people who were gathered together on that day in Jerusalem thousands of years ago.

Seemingly the dynamic power of God in the Holy Spirit had been tamed and put in a box. It had been so long since it moved among the people that some wondered if those days of mystery and power were over, but the prophets kept saying, “wait, watch, see, pay attention.”
