Pentecost Sunday

Sermon Text: Numbers 11:29 (Speaking by the Spirit)

Moses declares he hopes all God’s people receive His Spirit that they may be prophets. Through God’s Word and baptism, we have received the Holy Spirit so we should be speaking God’s Word of love and salvation to people. Do you feel qualified to be God’s representative to the world? You are. Christ has poured his love out onto you in Word and baptism and you have this love dwelling in you. Do you feel like you are living up to being God’s representative to the world? Perhaps not but the Holy Spirit is still dwelling in you to give you a never-ending supply of Christ’s love. Living in His love means that the Lord is raising you up and equipping you for His work. Your role is speaking the Word of the Lord in love, and the Lord will guard and guide you in doing this.
