    The arrival of the Holy Spirit during Pentecost was a turning point in the plan of God's great salvation of humanity. That event was not something that was done in secret but was announced with signs and wonders and with the salvation of 3000 souls!

    Acts 2:1-13 (You can look this up now and we’ll read it later …) The Lord is a GREAT planner. He chose to send the Holy Spirit when people from all over the Roman Empire and beyond would be in Jerusalem. Why were they all coming to Jerusalem at that time? Deuteronomy 16:16-17 ...read more
