Pentecost!

For Pentecost Sunday, May 23, 2021

Acts 2:46-47a GNT: “Day after day the believers met as a group in the Temple, and they had their meals together in their homes, eating with glad and humble hearts, praising God, and enjoying the good will of all the people.”

On the first Christian Day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit visibly fell onto the believers, Peter preached the best sermon ever, and at the altar call 3,000 came forward and were baptized that day, sold on the idea because they’d been offered hope. They weren’t just signing up to follow Jesus, and then going on their merry way! Everyone was accepted into the community of believers – they worshiped together, ate their meals together and genuinely cared for one another!

It was a big lifestyle shift, from “I’ve got mine,” to “Let’s care for each other!” This fellowship, this love for one another was a new concept at the time. People liked what they saw and “The Way” grew by attraction.

"Every day the Lord added to their group those who were being saved.”

Blessings and safety to all today!
