by Rev Charlie Lacey | Acts 2: 1-24Acts 2:1-24 (NIV)Two-thousand years ago, about 10 days after Jesus ascended to be with his Father in heaven, God poured out his Holy Spirit on a group of believers who were waiting for this gift that Jesus had promised. Since that day, everyone who repents and puts their faith in Jesus is filled with God's Spirit.

"Would that all the LORD's people were prophets, that the LORD would put his Spirit on them!" The manna that sustained Israel in the wilderness becomes the object of complaint. The people weep for the meat of Egypt, and Moses buckles under the burden of leadership. God responds with quail and with His Spirit poured out on seventy elders. In this chapter, we see both the ugliness of ingratitude and the generosity of God who shares His Spirit with His servants. The Rev. David Boisclair, senior pastor at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Overland, MO, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Numbers 11. To learn more about Our Redeemer, visit ourredeemerstl.org. The Book of Numbers is far more than an ancient census report. It is the story of a people learning to trust God in the wilderness, and failing, and finding grace anyway. In this series, host Pastor Phil Booe and guest pastors walk through the Old Testament book of Numbers chapter by chapter. We follow Israel from Sinai toward the Promised Land, through grumbling and rebellion, fiery serpents and a talking donkey, faithless spies and faithful priests. The journey is hard, the failures are many, and God remains faithful to a faithless people. These ancient accounts point us to Christ. The bronze serpent lifted on a pole points to the cross. The rock struck for water points to the one struck for us. The high priest whose death frees the manslayer points to the Great High Priest whose death sets us free forever. Join us as we discover that the wilderness has more to teach us than we ever expected. Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

This Sunday, Pastor Suzy Silk continued our series through the Book of Acts, The Fifth Act, with a message from Acts 10 and 11 on the radical, history-altering gift of the Holy Spirit for all believers. In one of the most pivotal moments in the Early Church, we witness the Spirit of God falling not only on the Jewish believers, but also on Gentiles, revealing that salvation through Jesus is truly available to all. We are living in the fulfillment of what generations of believers only hoped for: the Spirit poured out on all flesh, making the unclean clean, and drawing people from every nation into the household of God.
Texts: Acts 2:1ff, John 14:15ff, 1 Corinthians 12:4ff,Luke 11:9ff
In this message from Richie Reeder, we are invited to explore the transformative power of the Holy Spirit. Ths talk focuses on Acts 2, where the Spirit arrives dramatically with violent winds and tongues of fire. This pivotal moment reveals three key themes: God's presence, power, and gospel proclamation. We're challenged to examine our reliance on the Holy Spirit—are we aware of His presence and exhibiting the fruits of the Spirit in our lives? Even in times of waiting, God is working. Just as the disciples experienced a divine interruption, we can be filled with the Spirit's power, breaking barriers and unifying people under the gospel. This story encourages us to embrace God's power, challenge our comfort zones, and boldly share Jesus's love and hope.
The Holy Spirit came to empower the Church to declare God's greatness to all people. Pastor Dave Pack, Associate Pastor Acts 2:1-13 Visit our website at www.fremontpres.org Email us at podcast@fremontpres.org

Whether it's supernatural healing, divine provision, or signs and wonders that defy logic, you'll be stirred to believe again for the impossible.
The Church was not meant to go it alone. When Jesus' earthly ministry ended, He promised us a gift. The very Spirit of God would fill and guide His church, and help believers to love and serve each other in winsome and loving ways. Join us as we explore what this means for us, even today.

Beginnings in Prayer -- Part 2: Faith, a Gift of the Spirit, Is a Key Element in Our Relationship with God Through Prayer MESSAGE SUMMARY: Part I -- INTRODUCTION: We are told in the New testament that there is a Spiritual Gift of faith that God imparts, but most of us don't use our Spiritual Gift of faith. Faith is like a muscle; if we don't use it, like a muscle, faith atrophies. You cannot live on yesterday's faith -- you must use your faith, or you will become weak in your faith! Part II -- PRAYER - 2: Prayer is: 1) spending time with God – acknowledging God's presence in all our lives' activities; and 2) conversation with God – listening to and talking with God. Prayer reflects on our relationship with God. Why don't we pray. The Apostle James, in James 4:2-3, provides a perspective regarding Prayer Life: “You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions." We are trying to encounter God as He wants us to through prayer. Prayer is an incredible Spiritual Gift that the Lord has given us; a gift so that we might know Him and to accomplish His purpose for us. When discussing prayer, the attribute of prayer, that is often left out, is faith. As Jesus tells us about the importance of faith in Matthew 15:25-28: “But she came and knelt before him, saying, ‘Lord, help me.' And he answered, ‘It is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs.' She said, ‘Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters' table.' Then Jesus answered her, ‘O woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as you desire.' And her daughter was healed instantly.”. It does not take much faith to have great faith. The writer Hebrews, in Hebrews 11:1-3, defines faith: “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the people of old received their commendation. By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.". In order to create and sustain our prayer life, we must: 1) have faith and believe that God exists; 2) believe that God will honor your seeking Him – start by praying as you are; and 3) exercise your faith – stretch your prayers for God. If you have a prayer life, how do you approach your prayer life? Do you enter your God relationship through prayer with a faith expectation and confident that God hears you and will respond? Just remember that Jesus taught us that it does not take much faith to have "great faith". Faith is what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. Prayer exercise for this week: 1) pick some issue for which you need direction; 2) ask god, by faith, to give you an answer; and 3) all week long, come to God asking for an answer until you get an answer. Faith is the power behind your prayers. TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, Sabbath rest is truly an unbelievable gift! Thank you that there is nothing I can do to earn your love; it comes without any strings attached. As I close my eyes for these few minutes before you, all I can say is, thank you! In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 133). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: I affirm that because of what God has done for me in His Son, Jesus, I AM FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT. If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him! (Luke 11:13). SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Matthew 8:10; Matthew 15:25-28; Matthew 8:26; Matthew 14:31; Matthew 17:20-21; Hebrews 11:1-3; Hebrews 11:6.

Jesus is the same today as He was in the past, and He will remain the same forever. His nature—love, life, and transformation—never changes. He is still actively at work, filling empty lives with His presence, performing miracles, and gifting His people with spiritual blessings. Through prophecy, the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and revival, Jesus continues to refresh, renew, and empower His followers, bringing life and purpose to those who seek Him. Life in the Church is more vibrant when these gifts are in use, as He continues to transform and overflow lives with His love.
Jesus in the hours before his sufferings and death on behalf of sinful people spent several hours seeking to prepare them. He spoke of leaving them. First a short leaving by his death and burial but in a little while you will see me again. He is prophesying his third day resurrection. Then of a much longer departure when he returns to the Father. It is in this connection that Jesus speaks of the Holy Spirit as his ascension gift that he will send to them. His promise was fulfilled on Pentecost ten days after he ascended into heaven. The Spirit brings the spiritual presence of Christ Jesus and he bears witness to him. He empowers believers in the Lord Jesus to witness beginning with the disciples on that Pentecost day but continuing to this day. He is Christ's ascension gift and he comes with fullness of power and grace gifts for ministry and witness to Jesus.Bible Insights with Wayne ConradContact: 8441 Hunnicut Rd Dallas, Texas 75228email: Att.
