On Pentecost, the faithful commemorate the birthday of the Church. Yet it is also a time to reflect on the coming of the Paraclete, the Holy Ghost, and the gifts He bestows upon the faithful. What these gifts are and what they can do for us in our everyday lives is the topic of this sermon.

June 13, 2025Today's Reading: Acts 2:1-21Daily Lectionary: Numbers 27:12-23; Luke 23:26-56“When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place.” (Acts 2:1)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. Pentecost, 50 days after Jesus conquered death, and we figure everything's got to be different now. The Pharisees were still running the temple. Caiaphas still offered sacrifices there as High Priest, refusing to believe he had already sacrificed the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world. The city was still under Roman occupation. The crowd still didn't do anyone any favors by paying attention to them. Remember who this crowd is. They cried for a revolution when Jesus rode into town on a donkey. They cried for a cross when He didn't deliver. On Pentecost, the Twelve didn't seek a crowd eager to hear them; the crowd heard a great noise and went to add to it. Pentecost wasn't the sanctioned and safe beginning of an enthusiastic church that took over the culture that we imagine.   We know the miracle of Pentecost—that tongues of fire danced over the apostles' heads while they preached in languages they never knew. The disciples were brought by God, not to preach to those who gathered together cheerfully after making all the right choices in the middle of it. They preached to the sinners who cried out for the death of God. They preached to the terrified. They preached to the confused who did their best and second-guessed it every step of the way. They preached to those who heard what God would call good and mocked it, then called the messengers drunk for it. They preached to us.  This is the crowd God sends preachers to. Peter preaches hope, not in an action plan for the future. Not in being on the side that made the right choices. Not even in being the ones who boycotted Target the first time things got weird. He preaches to the ones who put Jesus to death. He tells them Jesus died because of them and for them. Of the sins of all the sinners gathered that day, the selfishness, the arrogance, the anger, the idolatry are covered in the blood of God, which pays the price for the evil they work. The sinners are forgiven. The path forward is, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” It gives a new identity. Every nation gathered in Jerusalem was given a new identity that joined them together. Baptized. Christian. Those who called upon the name of the Lord and were saved.In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Come, Holy Ghost, God and Lord, With all Your graces now outpoured On each believer's mind and heart; Your fervent love to them impart. Lord, by the brightness of Your light In holy faith Your Church unite; From ev'ry land and ev'ry tongue This to Your praise, O Lord, our God, be sung: Alleluia, alleluia! (LSB 497:1)- Rev. Harrison Goodman, Higher Things Executive Director of Mission and Theology.Audio Reflections Speaker: Pastor Jonathan Lackey is the pastor at Grace Lutheran Church, Vine Grove, KY.In Clarifying the Great Commission, Rev. Daniel Christian Voth identifies common omissions from our collective understanding of Jesus' farewell discourse—omissions that turn Christ's promises of forgiveness, life, and salvation into a legalistic command. Come and discover a richer understanding of The Great Commission.

On Pentecost, God didn't just send power — He sent purpose. The Holy Spirit came with wind and fire, but the real miracle was the message: people from every nation heard the gospel in their own language.This was no accident. It was God's mission in motion — a mission that starts with Him and reaches all nations. Join us as we explore Acts 2:1–7 and discover how the sound of heaven still echoes through us today.

On Pentecost, God sent His presence not just to be with His people, but to dwell in them as tongues of fire. This fire wasn't new—it was the same holy, guiding, powerful, and purifying fire seen with Moses, Elijah, and Isaiah.In this sermon, we explore why the "dangerous" nature of God's fiery presence should inspire a transformative awe in every believer.

In Genesis 28, as Jacob left home for fear of his life, God encountered him at Bethel. There, God assured Jacob that he was still his God, despite his sin, and would bring him back. Jacob set up a stone of remembrance there to remember and recall God's faithfulness.  On Pentecost, God, the Holy Spirit, came to the disciples just as Jesus had promised. On this festival day, we commemorate the coming of the Holy Spirit to the disciples by setting up a stone of remembrance to the God who still comes to meet us. Genesis 28:10-22

What if the church is more than a destination? On Pentecost, Peter quoted Joel, saying that young people would see visions and older ones would dream dreams. That dream lives on in us as we carry out God's mission in a changing world, reminding us that the church is a hub, where people find their purpose and mission to make a difference. Find out more at HydeParkUMC.org/NextSteps

On Pentecost, we celebrate that we have been given an Advocate to accompany us. Poured out in wind and fire, water, wine, and bread, the Holy Spirit abides in and among us. We give thanks that God speaks to each of us, no matter our origins, language, or life path. Filled with the Spirit of […]

On Pentecost, we are in the penultimate message in the series, Teach Em How To Say Goodbye: Jesus' Parting Words to a Community in Transition, which looks at the final discourse of Jesus with his disciples before the whirlwind of his death, resurrection, and ascension. Today, we consider how God might be inviting us to bear witness to beauty and brokenness, as we humbly listen to one another's stories.   [John 14:15-27]   Reflection As we sit together in our own metaphorical upper room, can we pray together that the Holy Spirit would astound us with unexpected beauty? How might God be inviting you to speak into or bear witness to another's beauty and brokenness? How might God be breathing beauty or possibility into the broken places in or around you?

On Pentecost, the Spirit is poured out with power, transforming the fearful into the bold. The Spirit is not just a gentle helper — but the fire and breath of God that equips the Church for its mission. Acts 2:1–13 ESVWhen the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven. And at this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered, because each one was hearing them speak in his own language. And they were amazed and astonished, saying, “Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each of us in his own native language? Parthians and Medes and Elamites and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabians—we hear them telling in our own tongues the mighty works of God.” And all were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?” But others mocking said, “They are filled with new wine.”

On Pentecost, Pastor Will reflects on the power of the Holy Spirit—how it ignited the church and still transforms us today. Even a little faith, like yeast in dough, can rise, grow, and feed others. You don't need to be bold like Peter to make a difference—your small faith, empowered by the Spirit, is more than enough.

Sermon Scripture: Acts 2:1-21A long time ago, God made a promise. He said, “One day, I will pour out my Spirit on all people.” That means God wouldn't just be with a few special people anymore—he would be with everyone who wants him.On Pentecost we remember the first sermon, the first baptisms, and the beginning of the Church, but most of all, we remember that God kept his promise. And if God kept that promise, we can trust him to keep every other one too.

On Pentecost something epoch happened! The Spirit baptized every believer and, literally, fired them up! They then hit the streets and declared the wonders of God...and they received mixed results. Pastor Dave inspires us to declare the wonders of God while leaving the results to God.

Pentecost Sunday commemorates the day the Holy Spirit descended upon the early church, fulfilling the promises of Jesus and John the Baptist. After Jesus' resurrection and ascension, the disciples gathered in Jerusalem as instructed. On Pentecost, the Holy Spirit filled them with power, symbolized by tongues of fire, enabling them to boldly spread the gospel—marking the birth of the Christian church. This day reminds believers that the same Spirit lives within them, uniting all in Christ, empowering them for service, and continuing God's promise to all who are called.

We have been looking for weeks at how Jesus prepared His disciples for ministry. He trained them personally, supernaturally opened their eyes to understand the scriptures, and instructed them to wait for the baptism of the Holy Spirit. On Pentecost, they were filled with the Spirit and were absolutely empowered to be the witnesses He had called them to be. They had everything they needed... or did they? Today we will look at one more critical element in the makeup of the mature, effective follower of Christ. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On Pentecost, the Jesus changed the game forever when the Holy Spirit was released onto Jesus' followers. That ministry is still alive today which is why we celebrate the gift of supernatural ministry fueled by the Holy Spirit.

On Pentecost weekend, 2024, four URC churches gathered for worship and fellowship in Greensburg, IN. Those churches were: Ascension Reformed, Madison Reformed, Indy Reformed, and Christ Reformed.   

Friends of the Rosary, This Pentecost Sunday, with the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles and disciples, the Jewish crowd of that time experienced the miracle of tongues. This supernatural event recalled the story about the tower of Babel, when men, enslaved by pride, attempted to build a tower that would touch the heavens. To punish their sin, God confused their speech. Sin causes confusion and division. On Pentecost, Lord Christ came to gather all men into His Church, uniting them to Himself. This should result in creating one family of nations again. The gift of love infused into us by the Holy Spirit unites us. Love is the common language, that should be spoken into all nations.

Today we will reflect on Pentecost; the great harvest feast of the Jewish people. We will focus our reflection on Acts 2:1-13, The Gift. On Pentecost, 50 days after Jesus' resurrection and 10 days after his ascension to heaven, Jesus sends his Spirit to empower the church and to carry forward his last instruction to go make disciples. The Spirit gives us the gift of communication and courage to go into the world to share the Good News.

Pentecost, what does it mean? It was at this time that Jesus, seated at the right hand of the Father, sent the Holy Spirit to not only come upon His people but to indwell them. On Pentecost, God kept His promise to send the Helper to us. Now we live in His power and eagerly await His return. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on May 19, 2024.

On Pentecost, Deacon Walt celebrates the birth of the Church and the descent of the Holy Spirit. He emphasizes how the Holy Spirit brings light into darkness, empowering believers to spread the love and teachings of Jesus through acts of kindness and compassion.

Acts 2.1-12 To be a Christian is not so much having a certain set of beliefs that give meaning to our lives. Instead, to be a Christian is to be initiated into a community with practices and habits that actually transform our lives. Which is just another way of saying, we only ever learn what it means to be Christians by watching other Christians and doing what they do. To be Christian means being together. Which, of course, isn't easy. After Pentecost, the story of Acts tells of the great challenge of being the church. The church stand for, preaches, and speaks the language of the heart that runs completely counter to the language of the world. The world worships the first, the greatest, the found, the big, and the alive. God comes for the last, least, lost, little and dead. The world runs on deception and destruction. The Spirit conveys grace and mercy. The world is full to the brim with bad news. Jesus comes bringing Good News. On Pentecost, the Spirit is poured out on all flesh, the tall and the small, the sinners and the saints, the found and the forgotten. Not because we earned it or deserved it. But because we needed it. And we still do...

The Church celebrates this Sunday the Birthday of the Church, Pentecost Sunday. On Pentecost the Holy Spirit descended upon the apostles and gave them power to proclaim the works of God to all. Let us pray for the Holy Spirit in our time.

Friends of the Rosary: All of the great theophanies in Christ's life occurred during the course of prayer. After His baptism, for instance, when Jesus was praying the heavens opened and the Holy Spirit descended in the form of a dove. Likewise, it was during prayer at night that the transfiguration took place on Tabor. During the Annunciation, it was while Mary was praying that Gabriel delivered his message, and the Holy Spirit overshadowed her. On Pentecost, a small community of Christians, including the Holy Virgin and the Apostles, were praying for the coming of the Paraclete took place. Today, the same is true at Mass. Through prayer, we prepare our souls for the advent of the Spirit. Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!

Scripture: Acts 2:1-21, GNT As the crowds gathered in Jerusalem for Pentecost, the Hebrew believers thought they knew why they were there. It was a festival to celebrate the giving of the law and really to celebrate the founding of their nation. They drew their energy from their national identity, but was something more happening? The disciples of Jesus found a new power source: the Holy Spirit. On Pentecost and beyond, that same Holy Spirit empowers us.  Connect with the Canton UMC!

Christmas. Easter. Pentecost. Fr. Walsh tells us these are the three big Feasts in the Catholic year. On Pentecost, the Lord gives us the gift of His Spirit.

What does it mean for us that the Holy Spirit is alive around and within us? On Pentecost, the birthday of the Church, we're exploring one of Jesus' stranger word pictures.

On this episode of Preaching the Text, John Hoyum and Steve Paulson discuss the texts for Pentecost. On Pentecost, the church receives the gift of the Holy Spirit with tongues of fire, enabling the apostles to preach in many languages. Though many interpreters focus on the way in which Pentecost connects to the giving of the law at Sinai, or the reversal of Babel's confusion of tongues, this episode emphasizes how Pentecost marks a transition. Before, the coming of Christ was always future-tense: he's coming. But at Pentecost, the word changes: now Christ is here. At Pentecost we receive a present Christ, not an absent one.

From May 7 through May 28 there will be a time of fasting and prayer for Israel and Jerusalem. The idea was conceived by Mike Bickle, the pastor of International House of Prayer in Kansas City. Visit the website www.isaiah62fast.com to access information about this event, including a six-minute video by Pastor Bickle. I encourage you to participate in this prayer event if you feel led. I think this is a wonderful opportunity to help create the burden for Israel and the Jewish people within the worldwide Body of Christ.   Show Notes: The goal of the Isaiah 62 Fast (www.isaiah62fast.com) is for more than a million people to be in prayer 24 hours a day for 21 days to see the fulfillment of God's promises to Israel. Started by Pastor Mike Bickle it has already grown to hundreds of thousands of participants. This event will begin on May 7 and end on May 28, which is the Day of Pentecost.   On Pentecost there will be a gathering at the southern steps of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, which I am hoping to attend. Hargrave Ministries had already scheduled a trip to be in Israel during that time, and we plan to be part of the Jerusalem Prayer Breakfast that will take place on the first of June. I am excited to connect with this focused time of prayer because I believe it will expand the burden for the Jewish people and Jerusalem within the Body of Christ. Many Christians still do not have the revelation of what God is going to do in the end-time surrounding Israel and the Jewish people.   I think it is a fantastic event and we should look to see it be tremendously successful, not only in reaching the Body of Christ, but also in the effectiveness of the prayer itself for Israel and Jerusalem. Isaiah 62 contains many beautiful promises over Israel, and now the Body of Christ from around the world is part of their fulfillment by being the watchmen on the wall to remind the Lord what He has said concerning Israel.   Key Verses:   •       Isaiah 62:1–12. “On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen; all day and all night they will never keep silent.” •       Romans 11:17–21. “You, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker with them of the rich root of the olive tree.” •       Psalm 102:13–18. “This will be written for the generation to come, that a people yet to be created may praise the LORD.”   Quotes: From the Isaiah 62 Fast website (www.isaiah62fast.com):   •       “A collaboration of several thousand ministries—including Lou Engle, Jason Hubbard, Mike Bickle—are calling 1 million believers to participate in a global solemn assembly (May 7–28) to fast in various ways and to pray for the Lord's purposes for Israel AND to ask Him to raise up 100 million intercessors for Israel according to His promise in Isaiah 62:6.” •       “This will be the first time in history that far more than 1 million will continue 24 hours a day for 21 days in praying for God's promises for Israel. The uniqueness of this prayer initiative is itself a sign of the times and an acceleration of God's set time for a generation yet to be created to engage together in His purposes for Israel (Ps. 102:13, 18).”   Takeaways:   1.    The potential impact of this on the Jewish people, the State of Israel, and the city of Jerusalem is going to be amazing when they learn how many believers are crying out to God for the fulfillment of the prophecies over them to come true at this time of Pentecost. 2.    We work a lot with Israel and the people who live in Israel and Jerusalem, and they are always touched by the love and the drive that Christians have for them. It gives them a strength in their own faith and their own belief in the Word. And we want to do this with this event. 3.    It is guaranteed by God that His promises to Israel will be fulfilled. He will never reject His people no matter what they have done, no matter what they are doing today. He will make a new covenant with them, and they will all know Him from the least to the greatest. He will forgive their sins. He will bring them forth as the nation that He has always promised that they would be in His presence to stand before Him.

(Acts 2:4-13) On Pentecost, the Holy Spirit enabled the disciples to communicate in languages they did not previously know so that all people could hear the gospel. As we learn more about the miraculous sign gifts given on that day, we discover more about both God's heart and His power. (07017230120)

“Today we celebrate the great gift which God poured out upon us all on the Day of Pentecost. When the Spirit came down to those disciples they were changed, transformed.  Their spirits were recharged with life and power. They came back to life. And that same promise is made to us, today.” On Pentecost, Br. Geoffrey Tristram gives us a wake-up call – to pray.

God pours out His healing love for me by cleansing me through water and the Word, giving me life and salvation. When I suffer, my first inclination is to trust my strength, wealth, or reputation. This tempts me to doubt God's unequivocal word of promise. But, despite my doubts, God's Word is powerful and always does what it says, pointing me to Jesus, the Word made flesh, who heals my diseases and cleanses me from the sickness of my sin granting forgiveness and eternal salvation for the sake of Jesus, who died and rose again for us. On Pentecost, Christians commemorate the special outpouring of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit's activity continues today. Through the preaching of the Gospel and Baptism, the Holy Spirit calls and gathers believers to Christ and His Church. The Spirit works among people of every nation and language—among all to whom the Church is sent to proclaim the Gospel. For this reason, Christians pray for the continued outpouring of the Spirit and for the fulfillment of His sanctifying work. May your eyes be opened and your heart be filled as you celebrate the ever-present Spirit of God this week, and as you receive the empowerment of God for the journey ahead.
