Waiting - Pentecost

Contributed by Graeme Lamb on Jun 1, 2006

A sermon for the period between Ascension Day and Pentecost

In many ways the period between the Ascension Day and Pentecost is a period of waiting for the church. I liken it to being in the third trimester of the pregnancy out of which the church is birthed.

Celebrating Pentecost

Contributed by Stephen Funderburk on Jun 4, 2006

understanding the day of Pentecost in Acts 2

Pentecostal Power

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jun 13, 2006

The Pentecost event tells us of our great need of the Holy Spirit. We must be convinced of two truths: (1) Lives can only be changed with His help, and (2) we can witness effectively only by His power.

Today is Pentecost Sunday. We want to read about the birth of the church in Acts 2:1-8. We celebrate the birth of Jesus, and everyone knows it is Christmas. We remember His resurrection, and most people recognise that Easter is a special day to the Christians. But when we talk about Pentecost – ...read more
