so many people have built a foundational view of Pentecost without actually looking at the Foundation of Pentecost.
But the first line of Acts 2 is far more important than we often recognize… it says this: “When the day of Pentecost arrived” It doesn’t say: the things about to be recorded is why we will one day call this day Pentecost. No… THOSE THINGS HAPPENED ON PENTECOST. It was an actual day that the everyone, like every other year before that, was gathering to celebrate.
And understanding what they were celebrating is the first step in understanding just how significant what happened on that particular Pentecost really was.
In this sermon, we look at the challenging question of "is it God's will to heal everyone?" and why our view on that matters when operating in the gifts of the Spirit.

We often overlook the fact that sandwiched between the two most informative passages we get on "the gifts of the Spirit" is the most far reaching, famous passage about love in the entire Bible. This is intentional.
The first few words of Acts 2:1 reveals that there is more going on with Pentecost than just what was happening that day.
conversation means that we bind and we loose together, we learn together, we serve together, and we grow together.
We welcome each other’s perspectives, and we depend on each other’s accountability.
