Attention: No church services next Sunday, May 26, 2024.

Prayer: Pastor Baggett

Scripture: Acts 1:4,5,8 - And when they were all together, with him, he gave them orders not to go away from Jerusalem, but to keep there, waiting till the word of the Father was put into effect, of which, he said, I have given you knowledge: For the baptism with the Holy Spirit, after a little time. But you will have power, when the Holy Spirit has come on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judaea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.  Acts 2:1-4 - And when the day of Pentecost was come, they were all together in one place.  And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like the rushing of a violent wind, and all the house where they were was full of it.  And they were all full of the Holy Spirit, and were talking in different languages, as the Spirit gave them power. 

Subject: The Day of Pentecost

• The feast of weeks; of harvest - Pentecost
• The falling down of the Holy Spirit onto the disciples in the upper room.
• Acts 2 tells the Good News of Jesus Christ.
• Matthew 28:19-20 - Go then, and make disciples of all the nations, giving them baptism in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit: Teaching them to keep all the rules which I have given you: and see, I am ever with you, even to the end of the world.
• The disciples obey Jesus; receive power from on high; & share the message with others.
• Wait until the power comes upon the disciples. As they waited, they prayed.
• Man must always pray and not faint. Luke 18:1
• Obedience is better than sacrifice.
• We must have "holy boldness" as Peter had and how the disciples received when the Holy Spirit came upon them.
• We must tell others about the Good News.
