I’m reading through the Bible texts that refer to Pentecost. Yes, this coming Sunday is Pentecost Sunday. (Don’t miss it.) In Britain they call it Whit Sunday. In the USA, it’s just another shopping.

I went through my files to see what I’ve preached for Pentecost in previous years. (Not to preach them again, I assure you. They weren’t that good.) Here’s the list:

2000: The Spirit in Luke 24 and John 20.
2001: The Spirit in John 14-16.
2002: Acts 2 and living in the presence of God.
2003: A church that brings blessing to the world.
2004: The first days of the church.
2005: The “needed” church.
2006: The church is the temple of the Spirit.
2007: The Spirit of Christ and his work.

This year I’m leaning to Peter’s Acts 2 sermon, especially on Jesus as Messiah and Lord, glorified at the right hand of God. But I’m not there yet. I’ve got 3 more days, and I’ll make use of them.

If you want to get in the Pentecost mood, why don’t you take a look at Greg’s posts from a while back. He had some great things to say about all the Jewish holidays (though Pentecost as a celebration of the giving of the law was first referred to in 270 AD).

Till then, Merry Pentecost Sunday!
