"This is Pentecost Sunday, the day when the Holy Spirit descended and broke through into the lives of the disciples. They immediately were so filled with power and joy that they ran out into the streets praising God and speaking in languages that they did not know. Peter who just a few days before had ran and hid from anyone who pointed him out as a disciple, now stood and preached one of the most powerful sermons ever recorded. The lives of the disciples were forever changed by that day. The coming of the Holy Spirit changed how every believer can live. God is now not just around us, He is in us.
Acts 1:8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you... (NLT)" - Dan MacAulay ('DannyMac' - creator of two new Podcast series,
