Sermon Highlight and This Week's Schedule
Sunday, May 20 (Day of Pentecost)
“Heard and Understood”
Acts 2:1-21
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?” – Acts 2:5-12
The Day of Pentecost has often been discussed as a reversal of the Tower of Babel, where instead of confusing the languages, we are united by a common understanding. On this Sunday of Pentecost, let’s be reminded of what brings us together in the Spirit which transcends boundaries.
Yours in Christ,
Pastor Lawrence
