Last week I shared with you from Acts 2 about the

birth of the church and how Pentecost is the most

important event in the life of the church next to

Jesus death and resurrection. If it were not for

Pentecost we would not be here today as the

church would have burned out, fizzled out, walked

away or just given up.

The Holy Spirit is the third person of the trinity whom

Jesus promised would come to His followers after

He returned to heaven and that when the Holy Spirit

came He would not just be with us but that He

would be in us and that His job was to help us to live

the life that Jesus has for us by giving us power that

is not our own and bringing to remembrance all that

Jesus had taught. The Holy Spirit works in us to

draw us to Christ and He works through us to point

people to Jesus.
