Pentecost

"Pentecost: When the Gift Arrives"

Acts 2:1-4

Rev. Dr. Stacey M. Cox

Before his ascension, Jesus told his disciples to wait in Jerusalem “for the promise of the Father” (Acts 1:4). Whether birthday gifts or Christmas presents, no one likes to wait for gifts. But the disciples had to wait, and it was worth it! For on the day we know as Pentecost, God opened the floodgates of heaven and poured out His Spirit with supernatural power. Join us Sunday for “Pentecost: When the Gift Arrives”!

The True Pentecostal

The True Pentecostal

When the word 'Pentecostal' comes to mind, perhaps you think of Robert Duvall's character, "Sonny" Dewey in the film "The Apostle," who boasted he was a 'a genuine, Holy Ghost, Jesus-filled preachin' machine!' Of course, you might also have visions of week-long camp meetings 'out in the country.' Often Pentecostalism is connected to 'tongue-speaking.' None of that necessarily means one is a 'Pentecostal.' Sunday we celebrate Pentecost Sunday by answering the question, 'What's a true Pentecostal?' Join us!
