Tongues of Fire

Sermon Guide

Acts 2:1-13

When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability.

=Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven living in Jerusalem. And at this sound the crowd gathered and was bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in the native language of each. Amazed and astonished, they asked, “Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each of us, in our own native language? Parthians, Medes, 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 Arabs—in our own languages we hear them speaking about God’s deeds of power.” All were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?” But others sneered and said, “They are filled with new wine.”

Experience the all-encompassing divine presence of God.

Our host culture has conditioned us to trust the empirical over the spiritual.

Everyone who practices the way of Jesus should be able to experience the divine presence of God.

Live with expectation.

Do the preparation (cleansed/holy life). whale illustration.

Marvel when God moves.

You will experience God’s all-encompassing divine presence.

By faith, be filled with God’s Spirit today. Have a personal Pentecost moment.

Ask God to grow your capacity to trust His supernatural over your own empirical.

You will experience God’s divine presence in and through your life, for your growth and joy, and for God’s mission to see many who are far from Him brought near.

Run-of-the-mill, powerless faith is all you will experience.
