Pentecost Sunday Is Upon Us!


The feast of Pentecost was a celebrated holy day, fifty days after the Passover. The Death Angel has passed and lives were spared.

It is on this day, that we in the New Testament Church celebrate being Pentecostal. It is a time to reflect upon our roots, celebrate our great heritage, and look with faith, anticipation, and expectancy to our future.

Acts 2:1 says, "And when the day of Pentecost was fully come..." Those One hundred twenty did not know how it was going to come, they just knew that it was coming. Jesus commanded them to "tarry in the city of Jerusalem, until you be endued with power from on high."

When it came, it came suddenly, and as a rushing mighty wind. And it had great characteristics, it filled the whole house and all of them.

Something happened in Acts, chapter two, that has continued until this very day and will continue until the work of the New Testament Church is completed. There have been many an attempt by the enemy to quell the fire of Pentecost, but the flames continue to burn with an ever increasing intensity. Jesus said, “Upon this Rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”

For the spiritually hungry and thirsty, it is only what Pentecost has to offer, that real satisfaction can be achieved.
