Pentecost (Part 1)

Promises in the Famine

Joel 2:28-32 

Awaiting someone’s promised arrival can be thrilling. Children write letters to Santa weeks in advance, bursting with excitement at the thought of his Christmas visit. Families crowd around the airport, scanning every traveler for the familiar face they’ve been longing to see. Parents in the delivery room hold their breath, waiting for that first cry confirming the arrival of their newborn baby. 

But what if the waiting wasn’t minutes, hours, or weeks. What if it stretched into centuries? 

From early in the Old Testament until the day of Pentecost, God’s people lived with a promise: that His Spirit would one day dwell among them. Prophets proclaimed this coming blessing, but generations passed without seeing its fulfillment. Still, Israel waited – longing, hoping, and trusting. 

Join us this Sunday as we celebrate Pentecost, the day Joel prophesied about, and the day God’s long-awaited promise came to life among His people. We’ll explore miraculous truths about the Holy Spirit including His work then, His work now, and His work in the future.
