Baptized by the Fire
Sunday, May 24, 2026
This sermon highlighted the arrival of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2). This sermon does not delve into speaking in other tongues, but offers insight into what happens when baptism by fire occurs. For example, one observation I made was that God’s Power Still Comes to Waiting and Dependent People. Jesus instructed the disciples to wait for the Holy Spirit, even though they were clueless about who and what the Holy Spirit was. The key to their waiting was that the disciples were on one accord. I believe the operation of the Holy Spirit is most effectively demonstrated when humanity embraces how God moves. I concluded that Spirit-filled people become bold witnesses for Christ. The text started with the disciples locked behind closed doors, but when the Holy Spirit came on the scene, Acts 2 tells us that Peter, the same Peter who denied Jesus three times, steps up in verse 14 and raises his voice to the crowd to explain what they had witnessed. Like Peter, we too can step out from behind the locked doors of fear, isolation, trauma, and everything else, and step into our divine calling and become powerful witnesses for Christ.
