Ep. 252 – Back to the Future - The Future of Shavuot

Dr. Mark Rutland takes us to Acts 2, where Simon Peter boldly proclaims, “This is that”—connecting the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost to Joel’s ancient prophecy. What happened in that Upper Room wasn’t just a historical event; it was the future breaking into the present. The early believers couldn’t fulfill their mission without the power of the Holy Spirit, and neither can we. In this episode, Dr. Rutland unpacks the deeper meaning of Pentecost, its connection to prophecy, and why the Holy Spirit remains essential for the Church today.
