The Power of Pentecost


Acts 2:1-13


When was the last time someone over-promised and under-delivered on a promise to you?

Megan and I recently completed some updates to our home, and if you’ve ever gone through home renovations, you know this is a common experience of homeowners.

Contractors often promise that a renovation project will be finished within a certain timeframe and budget, and with excellent results. But more often than not, the project ends up taking twice as long and costs twice as much. If you’ve been through it, you know what I mean.

But here’s the good news: Our God is not a general contractor trying to earn our business. He is a perfectly loving heavenly Father who has never once over-promised or under-delivered. He always fulfills His promises to us.

One of the most powerful examples of this happened ten days after Jesus ascended into heaven, during the Jewish festival that we know as Pentecost.
