Pentecost (David Gore • Acts 2:1-21)

Almost 2 months since the fateful morning Jesus was crucified, a small group of disciples is hiding. They are keeping out of sight of the authorities - who they felt sure would be after them - just as the authorities had crucified their leader. Nothing could have prepared them for what was to happen next. You can’t make this stuff up… it just doesn’t make enough sense. The sound of wind. Flames of fire. Strange languages. Of course those nearby assumed large amounts of alcohol must be involved. But what if it was something quite different… utterly different?! Something that was about to turn the whole world upside down?!
