Pentecost was a massive corporate God encounter. It was an unforgettable, life-changing experience for those who were there. Encounter is the best remedy to the snare of dead religion. We lapse into religion when we are not encountering God. One of the great lessons of the Day of Pentecost is that God desires to pour His Spirit out upon us again and again and to keep our experience of Him fresh and vital. Paul warned us against “Having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.” (2 Timothy 3:5 NIV) Another translation is: “They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that!” (NLT) The Day of Pentecost teaches us that God desires to bring people into corporate encounters. We ought to expect a fresh Pentecost every time we come together as the New Testament people of God. We hope you enjoy Phil’s message delivered on Pentecost Sunday.
