Lectionary: Series C (534)
  1. At Pentecost, the Holy Spirit is poured out and the language of man is united again for the Gospel to be preached to the ends of the earth.
  2. How might your preaching of the work of the Spirit expand your own view of the Spirit’s work, and help your hearers gain an appreciation for the Holy Spirit’s activity in their lives beyond a standalone celebration, one day a year?
  3. Pentecost is a flashback. It drives us back to the past. It also propels us forward into the future.
  4. The glimpse of this final vision of healing has healed us before, it heals us here and now, and it will heal us again.
  5. Now, in the New Testament, the number for the Church remains twelve as Jesus calls twelve Apostles to be trained by Him to carry out the ministry following His ascension.
  6. God will undo the curse and release His creation through the resurrection. In Christ, it’s already taken place. We’re next.
  7. So, we pray. Not just in times of need, but we pray at all times. Because this is part of what it means to be saved.
  8. There were no discussions, no committee meetings, no master planning, he and his group simply went to Macedonia.
  9. What you are doing for your hearers is sparking their imagination to live in, to dwell in, the images you are conjuring in their mind’s eye.
