Pentecost Sunday - Fueled by the Spirit: Living the Legacy of the Risen Christ
The legacy of Jesus, as revealed in Acts 2:1–41, is powerfully sustained through the presence and activity of the Holy Spirit, whose arrival at Pentecost marks the birth of the Church and fuels its mission with divine power. This power is seen in bold proclamation, transformed lives, unity among diverse peoples, and hearts convicted to repentance. Just as Terry Fox's Marathon of Hope inspired a nation through perseverance in the face of suffering, so the Holy Spirit enables believers to live with purpose and courage, even amid trials, bearing witness to the risen Christ. The resurrection is the cornerstone of this legacy—proof that death has been defeated and that new life is possible for all who believe. The universal call of the gospel, seen in the multi-lingual proclamation at Pentecost, continues today through a global Church that spans cultures and generations. As we reflect on our personal experiences of the Spirit’s guidance and power, we are challenged to grow in obedience, becoming more sensitive to His leading, and to embrace a Spirit-filled life marked by hope, sacrifice, and unwavering faith—just as Terry Fox ran with a vision greater than himself, we are called to run our spiritual race in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Discussion Questions
1. The Church as the legacy of Jesus is fueled by the power of the Holy Spirit. What is the evidence of the power of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer, in your life specifically, and in the history of the church?
2. The legacy of Jesus through the Church is universal in scope. What does this mean, and what evidence do we have of this today and in Church history?
3. The legacy of Jesus is also rooted in the reality of the resurrection. Why is the resurrection of Jesus important in your life and in the larger church community and the world?
4. How do we foster greater obedience and openness to living in this power?
5. Are you encouraged by the presence of the Spirit in your life, or is it something that does not cross your mind very often? How do we grow into men and women of God who more regularly sense the presence and power of the Holy Spirit?
