Pentecost (600)
  1. This Holy Spirit chooses to use the vehicle of real human language, of His almighty, energic, performative, and effective Word (Hebrews 4:12) to convict and to save.
  2. The nations are not united in one single language again. Instead, they are being united in the common words and message of the Gospel.
  3. Every time someone is baptized, every time bread is broken and wine poured, every time a sinner hears, “Your sins are forgiven in Christ,” Pentecost happens again.
  4. On this episode of Preaching the Text, John Hoyum and Steve Paulson take up the texts for Pentecost.
  5. Happy Pentecost reading as, by the Spirit’s power and promise, you prepare to preach Christ Jesus, the One to whom the Comforter bears witness!
  6. Jesus is not asking us to figure out when He will return. Jesus is asking us to live everyday in the certainty that He will return.
  7. On this last week in the church year, we are to awaken our congregations to Christ's return and fix their drowsy eyes on the salvation promised by our glorious, crucified Lord. 
  8. It is the Messiah’s mighty arm which will vindicate God’s people. We place our hope, trust, and full confidence in His nail scared but resurrected arms, feet, and side.
