This is the day that the Lord has made let us rejoice and be glad in it (Ps. 118:24). This Sunday is Pentecost Sunday which refers to the fiftieth day after Easter. Pentecost was originally celebrated as a Jewish festival called Shavuot, 50 days after the festival of Passover.<\/span><\/p>\n

Before Jesus ascended to heaven, he promised that the Holy Spirit would come to all believers (Jn. 14:26; 15:26). Pentecost is the day of his arrival (Acts 2:1-4). The Church began that very day. All who would believe in Jesus would be immediately and permanently indwelt by the Holy Spirit (Eph. 1:13-14).<\/span><\/p>\n

The Holy Spirit is our guarantee of eternal salvation as well as the source of power to live like Jesus. Today as we continue to face the challenges of COCID-19, we can face tomorrow with peace and hope because the Spirit of Pentecost lives within each of us!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

LET US<\/b> continue to worship God passionately in the power of the Spirit. Please join me as we learn more about the <\/span>Admonition to Worship<\/b> found in Hebrews 10:19-25.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your brother in Christ,<\/span><\/p>\n

Last week I made a mistake regarding how the temple veil was torn. It was torn from top to bottom (Mk. 15:38).<\/span><\/i><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_video link=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/TmyQiwP2nYs”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
