Acts 2:12-41
Quick Preview: I invite you to join me in February for a new study, It's Not Too Late. I invite you to turn to Acts 2 as we finished our short series on the Holy Spirit.
This morning I want to conclude a short series on the Holy Spirit by looking at what the Spirit does to transform us. Today, we are looking at a famous account inside the New Testament, called Pentecost. Let me set up our story for those of you who may have missed earlier messages. The miracle of ''speaking in tongues'' had worked liked shooting a flare up into the air. Now, a large crowd had gathered around the disciples and there's all this confusion because of the incredible phenomenon. It is still the Feast of Pentecost and Peter explains why everyone has heard people speak in foreign languages that had not previously learned. Peter's speech is on the longest in Acts at 429 words in the Greek text. ''No,'' Peter swats away the critics by saying, ''they are not drunk because it is just 9 a.m.'' Essentially, Peter tells everyone the Holy Spirit has just arrived.
Look inside today's story for two items the Spirit does in your life: 1) The Spirit makes you bold (see the second point); and 2) He makes your conscience tender to His touch (see the third point). My hope this morning is simple: I want you and I to hunger for life-changing power the Holy Spirit brings.
