PENTECOST PROMISED

6/5/2019

It all started in a garden.

God and humanity walked together in the cool of the evening in beautiful relationship. They spoke and enjoyed an unlikely fellowship – one in which the divine and human entwined.

And then it happened.

Sin entered the world and that sacred bond was severed.
But God still reached for His creation, establishing covenants and abiding with them through fire, cloud, and an Ark. Prophets represented God to the people and priests represented the people to God.

Still, the intimacy of Eden was lacking.

But God had a plan both to cleanse sin and to restore the broken relationship. He promised that His Spirit being poured out upon everyone around the world.

For years, humanity’s cry was met with the answer “not yet.” The wait ended on Pentecost Sunday when the Holy Spirit descended from heaven like fire upon the 120 who had obediently waited as Jesus had instructed. They spoke in languages they had never studied, proclaiming the praises of God to immigrants who had flooded the city for the Feast of Pentecost. With that moment a great revival began and the church turned the world upside down.

More importantly, God and humanity could once again enjoy a personal relationship.


Join us on Sunday, June 9, as we celebrate the day that promise was fulfilled – and continues to be fulfilled today.
