Takeaways:
The Spirit is Here
- Pentecost Sunday is part of the traditional church calendar

For All People
- It does not matter if you are young or old, it doesn’t matter if you are male or female, rich or poor, the Holy Spirit is poured out on any follower of Jesus.

- The gospel is a powerful message of redemption.
- If you are a follower of Jesus, you have the same power that Peter preached with inside of you.
