S4:E3-Acts 2:1-24-The Holy Spirit comes & Peter preaches to the crowd
Manage episode 442709072 series 3324082
In this episode, we start chapter 2 from the Book of Acts. We cover verses 1-24. We see the Holy Spirit come to start His earthly ministry as promised by Jesus. After the Holy Spirit comes and fills Jesus' believers during Pentecost, they are empowered by the Holy Spirit to speak in languages previously unknown to the believers. A crowd of Jews who spoke different languages, who had come from different parts of the Roman Empire to Jerusalem to celebrate the Feast of Pentecost, heard the loud sound of the Holy Spirit coming. The crowd of Jews came to where they heard the sound, which was where Jesus's followers were. When the crowd arrived, they heard Jesus' followers speaking to them in their various languages (languages until then that were unknown to Jesus' followers) about the goodness of God. As a result, the crowd was amazed and perplexed. But some, as always were critical, and assumed that Jesus' followers were drunk. But Peter, now empowered by the Holy Spirit, told the crowd that Jesus' followers were not drunk. He told them that what they were witnessing was the fulfillment of a prophecy by the prophet Joel when God said in the Old Testament that He would one day pour out His Spirit upon mankind. Listen to hear the complete story and be blessed by the Word of God!
