… for what God has already done for us today. Pentecost, Acts chapter 2, verses 1 through 13, Pentecost. Beginning at verse 1 in chapter 2 and concluding at verse 4 for the reading, I'm going to tag this text, Pentecost. When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly, a sound like a blowing of violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire separated and came to rest on each other. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit And began to speak in other tongues As the Spirit enabled them This is the word of God Amen You may be seated The spirit came On Pentecost In personal power Unusual Unrepeatable Unstrained power In wind and fire And the word of God says On the day of Pentecost something happened.

It'll be coming up on the screen for you and I would invite you to mark it down in your Bible or place a marker in your Bible app, however you are reading the Word of God and if you want to go back and study. Let's begin with Acts chapter 2 beginning with verse 1 and it reads as follows. When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit, the divine breath, the pure breath of God, and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them. Now there were staying in Jerusalem, God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. …
