    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on May 22, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,859 views

    Why did God send his Spirit on that day (Shavuot) in particular, and why is it important for us today?

    I’m going to ask and briefly answer three questions: Why were there ‘God-fearing Jews from every nation’ staying in Jerusalem (1:5) on the day of Pentecost (1:1)?

    How does Matthew 3 relate to Father’s day? You might be surprised.

    Matthew 3 Happy Father’s day! How many fathers are here today? Matthew 3 has a good Father’s day message in it.
