Sabbath. Study. Serve.

 Sabbath, Study, Serve 

Taking the Sermon Into Our Week 


Scripture of the Week: Acts 2:1- 4 and

Galatians 4:1-7


From the Sermon:

The church of God continues on with the same __________ as the day that it was formed - to proclaim Jesus Christ crucified and to see hearts and lives being changed.


The Holy Spirit is ________________.


Out of this crucible of fear, when the disciples were all gathered together in one place, the Spirit of God came upon them and proclaimed that this is the day when_________________________.


Because of Pentecost,  ________ was sent out to these people who thought they needed to be part of a religion before in order to be a child of God.


God will never let the church ______.



Reflection Questions:

Where were the disciples on the day of Pentecost?


How are the story of Pentecost and Paul writing to the Galatians linked?


What new thing God will continue to do to make people aware of the gift of grace and call them to respond?


Are we willing to do whatever it takes to be part of the movement of the Holy Spirit?



Prayer:

Lord, for the times we have not remembered the power of the Pentecost story, forgive us. For the times we have not lived into your calling as the church, have mercy on us. Lord, renew your church this day, we pray. Amen.
