Acts 2:1-21 - The kingdom embassy we call the church was birthed on the day of Pentecost right after Jesus ascended to His heavenly throne. The day was a dramatic step forward in God’s plan to see His rule extended through people from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth, among every tribe, tongue, and nation. Through His cross and His Spirit, Jesus has reversed the curse of Babel and broken the barriers that divide humanity. A sermon by Cameron Heger. [Part 6 of our series “One King and One Kingdom”]
Questions for discussion: 1) Why were the disciples waiting at the beginning of Acts? What implications does this have for us? 2) The first public miracle of Pentecost involved translation of languages. Why is this so significant? 3) God always invited all peoples to Himseld. What did that look like in the Hebrew Bible? What does it look like under the New Covenant this side of Jesus? 4) Do you tend to feel more affinity with your fellow countrymen or with your Kingdom brothers and sisters? 5) How does your life in Portland relate to Jesus’s commission to be His witnesses to the ends of the earth?
