Pentecost

Acts 2:1-21 – Luke’s account of Pentecost helps us to understand three fundamental aspects of the Holy Spirit’s ministry: giving life, adoption, bringing unity.

The Spirit, Love and Mission

John 20:19-22 – The love of God poured into our hearts through the gift of the Holy Spirit is our underlying motive for evangelism.

The Spirit’s Work Through The Church

John 16:8-11 – The Holy Spirit continues the ministry of Christ in bringing conviction to the world regarding sin, righteousness and judgement. He does this though his powerful presence in the Church, witnessing to the life and truth of Christ in its midst.

For Your Good, I Am Going Away

John 16:4b-7 – The fact that Jesus going to heaven is better than him staying gives us the benchmark for our experience of the Spirit

Knowing The Father

John 15:10-23 – As we know Christ and grow in conformity to him, the Spirit makes known the Father to us by communicating his love to us more and more. So it is that we come to share ever more deeply in the Son’s relationship with the Father in the Spirit.
