Message: “Getting our Second Wind (Acts 2:14-21) ” from Dr. David Carey Dixon

A message from the series "Sunday Service." Pentecost was the revival of God’s people according to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which included the indwelling and empowering of the Holy Spirit, so that the Gospel would be carried to the ends of the earth, embracing all peoples, nations, tribes, and tongues. Does the Gospel still offer that kind of power to believers today? The revival of God’s people down through history has always been the work of the Holy Spirit: King Hezekiah got rid of the idols, purified the temple, and invited even the northern tribes to return to the Lord, resulting in a major revival of God’s people; a few generations later, King Josiah rediscovered God’s Word and led the people in a time of repentance and returning to the Lord; after the return from the Babylonian exile, Ezra and Nehemiah were used to help bring God’s Word to the people, resulting in revival; then several centuries later, when John the Baptist came preaching that the Kingdom had come near, another season of repentance and revival came to God’s people.

The Promise of the Father - Acts 2:1-13

Have you ever wondered what all those people were doing in Jerusalem, as described by Luke in the second chapter of the book of Acts?: celebrating Pentecost, the text says. Yes, but what is is Pentecost?: it is the 50th the day after another special day, Easter. That is correct, but can it then be that all those people from “every nation under heaven” where celebrating a day directly related to the resurrection of Jesus? How can that be, since the vast majority of them were Jews who, if given half a chance, would have perhaps also have cried out “Crucify Him” “Crucify Him!?
