The Spirit Explosion

God’s Story:
Yes! I cannot contain myself any longer! I want my people to feel my presence burning within them. I want them to feel the passion and love that has kept me fighting for them for so long. I will make my presence available to all who believe in me. My fire will scorch the sin and doubt from their souls and ignite within them a yearning and need like they have never known. The Holy Spirit will create an explosion within my church, and my people will spread the Good News to the ends of the world. Through the church, the voice of my Son will echo across the nations and throughout the centuries, calling all my people back to me.

Read Acts 2:1-47

Your Story:
The Holy Spirit now indwells every follower of Jesus. Each one of them is the new temple — the dwelling place for God on earth. The disciples began to meet together in homes all over Jerusalem. They devoted themselves to belonging to each other, growing together in their faith and serving the needs of the people around them. They extended the presence of Jesus on earth, and many people were added to their numbers.
