Sermon Series: The Road to Pentecost

We’re going to spend the next few weeks in our new series, The Road to Pentecost, exploring events leading from the Resurrection (Luke 24:6) to the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:1).
Pentecost memorializes the Holy Spirit’s descent upon Christ’s apostles after the Resurrection (Acts 2:2-4). The eternal Word assumed human flesh (John 1:14), the Lamb of God suffered and died in the flesh (Isaiah 53:3-5, Luke 23:44-46), was resurrected (Matthew 28:5-7), ascended to Heaven (Mark 16:19), and sent His Holy Spirit to sanctify His believers (2 Thessalonians 2:13). God, whose main characteristic is holiness (Revelation 4:8), sent His Holy Spirit (John 14:26) to set His believers apart from sinfulness to holiness (John 16:7-11, Titus 3:5, Romans 8:14).
