Pentecost: God’s Gift of His Spirit
Barney Rehm - May 16, 2026
Pentecost commemorates the day God poured out His Holy Spirit on the first-century Church, founding it as the firstfruits of His spiritual harvest and empowering ordinary disciples to become bold witnesses. That same Spirit remains the indispensable power believers need to understand truth, develop godly character, and carry out the work of teaching and preparing others for the Kingdom. As the Church faces decline and weakness, each member is called to stir up and use this gift daily through prayer, study, obedience, and courageous faith so that the light of God’s truth may shine brightly.
