A Word From the Pastor - June 2022

Pentecost is this month. It’s on Sunday, June 5th this year. Let’s talk a little bit about Pentecost. The word Pentecost is actually the Greek name for the Feast of Harvest / the Feast of Weeks. It may seem strange to think of harvest so early in the year, especially since we’re just starting to get our plants in the ground. In that part of the world there were two harvests each year. The early harvest which is in May and June and the fall harvest. Pentecost was the celebration of the beginning of the early wheat harvest. So you see, Pentecost, is really a Jewish festival. It is even one of the pilgrimage festivals. Because of that, there were a lot of extra people who had gone to Jerusalem in the disciples’ day.

Why is Pentecost so important to Christians? It was the day that the Holy Spirit first came upon the disciples of Jesus who were praying in the upper room. They had gathered and the Holy Spirit came down on them like flames of fire. The long-awaited comforter had come. The One who was going to give the new church power had ascended on them. He filled the whole house they were in. They were changed forever. The first sign of the change was their ability to speak, to speak in other tongues and in a way that brought 3,000 new believers in Peter’s first sermon. If you want to read more about this read Acts 2.

As you read Acts 2, I hope you get excited about what you read and want to have what they had. Remember, they had been in that room in prayer for 10 days after Jesus had ascended back up into heaven. Imagine a prayer meeting that lasts for 10 days. As Christians, it’s vital that we have the Holy Spirit. He guides us and informs our choices, both big and small. He helps us discern between what is good and evil. Have you ever been in a place and had a feeling that it was not a good place to be in? That could have been the Holy Spirit letting you know. The Holy Spirit helps us understand God’s Word, he reveals to us the things that are hard to understand. He teaches, heals, comforts, guides, and transforms us into the image of Jesus. He gives us the power to live an authentic Christian life.  When we’re “baptized” by the Holy Spirit it feels like something in us has come alive to God.
