Pentecost 2022

A celebration of the coming of the Holy Spirit

June 5

On the day of Pentecost, the bold promise of the Old Testament was fulfilled - the Holy Spirit was given to all believers. All those who put their faith in Jesus receive the Spirit to dwell within them for strength and power.

​

The Spirit comes with joy and peace for us - but it's also possible for us to quench the Spirit or cause the Spirit to feel grief and sorrow.

​

Though Pentecost is celebrated on one day, we will be spending six weeks to take a closer look at who the Spirit is and what the Spirit does, and the tremendous blessing it is to receive this promised gift.

About the image:

The Holy Spirit has many representations in the Bible:

• in "the form of a dove" at Jesus' baptism;

• with the sound of a great wind at Pentecost and as the "breath of God";

• as the "living water" believers receive, and that will flow from their hearts;

• as "tongues of fire" at Pentecost.
