Pentecost Acts 2

Pentecost is Our Story Happy Birthday, Church! No Spirit, No Church! The very same Spirit is here with us today

1. The Spirit Fulfills Disciples are in Jerusalem for 2 reasons: Jewish festival of Pentecost (Weeks/Harvest) Jesus told them to wait there until they received the Spirit (Acts 1:4-5)

1. The Spirit Fulfills Festival of Pentecost In OT - Feast of Weeks or Harvest/First Fruits (Leviticus 23:15-22) 50 days after Passover Harvest Celebration Acts 2 is the inauguration of a New Harvest

1. The Spirit Fulfills Jesus’ Promise Wait in Jerusalem until… “you will receive power and be my witnesses to Jerusalem, Judea and to the ends of the earth” (Acts 1:8) Power and witness cannot be separated

2. The Spirit Empowers “It is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the advocate will not come to you” (John 16:7) The apostles are evidence that Jesus knew what he was talking about With Jesus: Confused, cowardly, fearful With the Spirit (after Pentecost): Empowered, Bold witnesses

Power is not an end in itself 2. The Spirit Empowers Power is not an end in itself The Spirit empowers us for a reason Simon the Magician (Acts 8) Sees the power of the Spirit as magic for “show and tell” Power always has a purpose beyond ourselves What is the purpose of the power of the Spirit?

3. The Spirit Sends The spirit empowers the church for mission—to be witnesses For the Sake of Others The work of the Holy Spirit is to point people to Jesus What was the best thing about Pentecost? 3,000 people baptized and receive the Holy Spirit

Being a Pentecost People Celebrate The birthday of the Church The Spirit is here with us today Wait For the Spirit to fill us afresh Be expectant, but don’t know what to expect
