Before & After: Part 1 - Pentecost

from Redeemer Central Hosted by Adrian McCartney

On this Pentecost Sunday, Adrian McCartney kicks off our new 5-week series, Before & After, exploring the missional trajectory found in the writings of Luke. Drawing on Luke’s unique perspective as an "outsider" (the only non-Jewish New Testament writer), Adrian explores how the Holy Spirit didn't just empower individuals, but birthed a brand new kind of community. By comparing the baptism of Jesus in the Gospel of Luke with the arrival of the Spirit in the Book of Acts, we see a mirror image of power, prayer, and purpose. Adrian challenges us to move beyond seeing faith as a "blueprint" to copy, and instead to see it as a "trajectory" to follow—allowing the warmth, generosity, and grace of God to "ooze out" into the streets of Belfast today. 🌿 Give & Support Redeemer Central is a diverse and vibrant church in the heart of Belfast, practicing the way of Jesus through simple, intentional, and inclusive community, and seeking the peace and common good of our city. ~ You can support our ongoing work by giving financially at redeemercentral.com/give. Your generosity is greatly appreciated ~
