Acts: Turning the World Upside Down | Hyperlinks and the Holy Spirit

Every story needs some event that kicks off the plot. In Toy Story it’s Andy getting a Buzz Lightyear toy for his birthday. In Harry Potter it’s an owl showing up at Harry’s house to tell him he’s invited to Hogwarts. In Acts, it’s the Holy Spirit being poured out on Jesus’s friends and followers at what we now call Pentecost. In this message, Pastor Joel unpacks why Pentecost matters so much, specifically because of the way it “hyperlinks” to other passages in the Bible that help explain the groundbreaking nature of this crucial moment in the church’s history. The biggest hyperlink in today's message is the way God’s power breaks down barriers between humans to create a global and diverse church.
