sermonette: The Pentecost Witness
David C. Grabbe
Given 08-Jun-03; Sermon #616Bs; 16 minutes
Description: (hide)
David Grabbe focuses upon the nature of the power given to Christ's disciples. Instead of the bogus glossolalia and "slain in the spirit" aberrations, the Holy Spirit actually empowers them to keep God's law in spirit as well as in the letter. Ancient Israel was unable to keep the terms of the Old Covenant because their hearts were not right. On Pentecost, God gave His Spirit to a remnant of Israel, providing them with a heart to keep His Law, enabling them to become sanctified and separated from the world,and providing a witness to the rest of the world.
