A Beautiful Symphony (3 of 3)
Series: One
Lenny Ports
Luke 24:49-53
Recap from last week:
You are the people of God
You have been called by God
You have been sanctified by God
You now live with God (you have had a change of address)
When you come all the way out of the world and all the way into Christ,

Amen.
And then in Acts 2:1 When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as o ...
