Pentecost means a lot!
- The birth of the Church
- New Creation
- The reversal of the tower of Babel
- The giving of the Law at Sinai
- The reversal of the presence of God leaving Jerusalem
- God's presence in the mobile community
- Your sons and daughters shall prophesy (Joel)
- The reversal of the Israeli diaspora
- The prophecies of the Israel God to the nations
- The evidence that Jesus is enthroned as King
- Everyone made in the image of God --> inalienable human rights and dignity
Identity vs Self-Creation
Ephesians 1:3–14; Psalm 139:13–16
How does receiving identity from God (rather than constructing it ourselves) address modern anxiety about self-definition?
What does it practically mean to live from a given identity?
How does grace help?
What Does a Pentecost-Shaped Church Look Like Today?
Jeremiah 31:31–34; Ezekiel 36:24–27; Acts 2:17–18
If Pentecost fulfilled the promise of God dwelling in His people, what structures, practices, or assumptions in today’s church need to change to reflect that reality more fully?
How do we radically accept diversity and individual calling without losing our Christian roots?
The Spirit as Empowerment, Not Burden
Acts 1:8; Galatians 5:16–25; Romans 8:11–14
If the Spirit empowers rather than pressures, what would change in how we approach growth, obedience, and calling in daily life?
Where Is the Spirit Already Moving Around Me?
If the Spirit is active beyond my awareness, where in my daily environment might God already be at work—and what would it mean to join Him there instead of initiating my own agenda?
What are you going to do about it?
