Acts 2:4; Genesis 11:1-9; John 16:8

Scripture Reading: Philippians 4:6-7 “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank him for all He has done. If you do this, you will experience God’s peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.” (NLT)

#1–One accord–Acts 2:1

“When we lay down our personal preferences, we are going to see God pour out His Spirit upon us and see many lives changed.”

#2–Wind--Acts 2:2

“Without the “breath of life” in our lives, we would remain dead in our sins.”

#3–Fire–Acts 2:3

“God starts the fire, it’s up to us to keep it burning.”

#4–Tongues–Acts 2:4

• Genesis 11:1-9–a reversal of Babel.
• Acts 1:8–an example of the power of the Holy Spirit.
• Acts 2:5–the Gospel goes to the world.
• Acts 2:41–three thousand saved when the Holy Spirit was given.

The Holy Spirit is a life-giving force that works from the inside out to give us life; to give us power; and to help us spread the Gospel as we are going.

#5–Conviction--John 16:8

• John 16:8–Convicts sinners of sin.
• John 16:10–Convicts us of righteousness.
• John 16:11–Convicts us of judgment.

The Holy Spirit, our Helper, gives us conviction or convinces us that we are saved. That we are God’s child. That God loves us. That God is at work in our life and on our behalf. The Holy Spirit gives us a conviction that God will never fail; He will always be faithful; and that He has a perfect plan, designed just for our life.
