You Will Have Power (11 of 12)
Series: Unshakable Hope
Tony Thomas
Acts 1:8; 2:1-42
In the movie, Evan Almighty, Bomshel sings about a simple math equation:
One grain of sand can turn the tide,
One simple spark can light the night,

3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them.
4 Everyone was filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages as the Spirit enabled them.
Pentecost is one of seven feasts that Israel celebrated annually. Initially, it appears in the Law as the Harvest Festival. One of the ways it was celebrated was the baking of two loaves of bread.
Several years ago, I took Christie to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania over Spring Break. On Sunday morning we attended the First Presbyterian Church. It was Communion Sunday and we learned that communion was ''open'' to visitors. We offer u ...
