Pentecost
Pentecost
May 19, 2024 • Tim Maton • Numbers 11:10–29
We celebrate the pouring out of the Holy Spirit on those first disciples, ten days after the risen Jesus ascended to heaven, as described in Acts 2. However, we are going to look at an event that happened 1,500 years beforehand, in Numbers 11. My hope is that as we look at Numbers 11 it increases both our thirst and our faith for receiving more of the Holy Spirit and his gifts. And that we ask the Holy Spirit to fill us every day; on Monday morning, before a business meeting, in conversation with an unbeliever, before Life Group, before going to a party. God has always wanted a Spirit-filled People. It’s been his plan, purpose, and priority from the very beginning. Your life, your church, and his world need you to be continually Spirit-filled. And thanks to Pentecost, you can be.
