Everyday Pentecost Study- Day 4

27 May 2010 202 views No Comment

This 10-day study is designed to walk you through the Scriptures, helping you intentionally focus on pursuing the power of Pentecost in your life. Here is day 4:

Many individuals limit the power of Pentecost to only for the “religious elite” or a group of Jesus’ first apostles. The truth of the matter is, the story of Pentecost still alive and is made available to all those that seek.

Acts 2.38-40
38
Peter replied, “Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 This promise is to you, and to your children, and even to the Gentiles—all who have been called by the Lord our God.” 40 Then Peter continued preaching for a long time, strongly urging all his listeners, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation!”

Luke 11.13
13
So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him.”

To whom did Peter say the promise of Pentecost is available to?


Acts 1.13-15
13
When they arrived, they went to the upstairs room of the house where they were staying. Here are the names of those who were present: Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James (son of Alphaeus), Simon (the Zealot), and Judas (son of James). 14 They all met together and were constantly united in prayer, along with Mary the mother of Jesus, several other women, and the brothers of Jesus. 15 During this time, when about 120 believers were together in one place, Peter stood up and addressed them.

Besides the eleven apostles, who else was present at this monumental Pentecost?
