Pentecost Sunday: God Builds His Living House

Speaker: Rev. Raleigh Sims

Scripture Focus: Acts 1:12-26, John 17:20–26,
& Revelation 21:1-20

Service Summary: All the Church does is based on
our oneness with our Lord. In today’s Gospel, part of His High
Priestly Prayer and the night in which He was betrayed, Jesus
prays that we would be one, even as He and the Father are one.
There is no other, for Jesus says He is “the Alpha and the Omega,
the first and the last, the beginning and the end” (Revelation
22:13). Our oneness will be evident, as He prays, when “the love
with which You have loved Me may be in them, and I in them” (John
17:26). But the Gospel is not limited to the present Church, for
our Lord prays “also for those who will believe in Me through
their word” (John 17:20). We pray that many join us as we rejoice
with the psalmist: “Behold, how good and pleasant it is when
brothers dwell in unity!” (Psalm 133:1).
