  1. Pentecost & The Holy Spirit Presented by Andrew Hedstrom

  2. Acts 2:1-13

  3. Acts 2:1 • 2 When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place.

  4. Acts 2:2-3 • 2 And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. • 3 Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them.

  5. Acts 2:4 • 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability.

  6. Acts 2:5-11 • 5 Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven living in Jerusalem. 6 And at this sound the crowd gathered and was bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in the native language of each. 7 Amazed and astonished, they asked, “Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? 8 And how is it that we hear, each of us, in our own native language? 9 Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, 11 Cretans and Arabs—in our own languages we hear them speaking about God’s deeds of power.”

  7. Acts 2:11 • 11 …in our own languages we hear them speaking about God’s deeds of power.

  8. Acts 2:12 • 12 All were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?”

  9. Acts 2:13 • 13 But others sneered and said, “They are filled with new wine.”

  10. The Holy Spirit The grace of the Holy Spirit is necessary to us.

  11. Third Person of the Trinity • The Holy Spirit is the Third Person of the Blessed Trinity, and is therefore God Himself. • But what is the Trinity? Better question: Who is the Trinity? • God Himself • He is eternal, omnipresent, omniscient, almighty.

  12. The HS Dispenses Graces • The Holy Spirit dispenses the graces which Christ merited by the sacrifice of the cross. • The Holy Ghost produces nothing in addition to what Christ gained for us. He only increases and perfects that work of Christ; just as the sun when shining on a field does not sow new seed, but develops that which is already sown.

  13. The Assistance of the HS is Necessary • No mere natural act of ours can gain for us eternal salvation.  • The assistance of the Holy Spirit is absolutely necessary, because without the help of the Holy Spirit we cannot do the least work deserving of salvation. • But, with the help of the Holy Spirit we can carry out the most difficult works.
