This Week's Readings:
Acts 2:1-4 & 16-21(NIV)The Holy Spirit Comes
at Pentecost
1When the day of
Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.
2Suddenly
a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the
whole house where they were sitting.
3They
saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each
of them.
4All
of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other
tongues a as
the Spirit enabled them.
16This is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17“ ‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.
18Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.
19I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke.
20The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.
21And everyone who calls
