THE WEIGHT AND THE GLORY Acts 2:1-4

Lord, send the old-time power, the Pentecostal power! Thy floodgates of blessing, on us throw open wide! Lord, send the old-time power, the Pentecostal power! That sinners be converted and Thy Name glorified! Charles H. Gabriel

1)He drew them in.

But as they were sailing along He fell asleep; and a fierce gale of wind descended on the lake, and they began to be swamped and to be in danger. Luke 8:23

On that day, one hundred twenty believers, loosely bound together by the bonds of Christ, ascended the stairs to the upper room “with one accord.” One Body of believers came down. Individuals went up; a church came down – one mystical Body. John Phillips

We are not here by accident.

The church is not a religious system dreamed up in the mind of man.

The church, this body of believers with the life of Christ in us, is no afterthought on God’s part.

We are people of a transcendent purpose.

For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, Colossians 1:13

We are the life of Christ on mission!

I am His mission!

We live every day of our lives under the weight and the glory of eternal significance.
