Reaching out

23 - 29 May 2021

Filled to overflowing

Acts 2.1-21

On the day of the Jewish festival of Pentecost, Jesus’ disciples experience being filled dramatically with God’s Holy Spirit. This power and life spills out into the whole of creation. Peter says that this is the culmination of many centuries of waiting for the fulfilment of God’s promise, made known through Old Testament prophets.

We explore the implications of, and how, our everyday faith and living is affected by this broader perspective.

This week we explore God’s Spirit pouring out to the whole of creation.
