Sermon Series: A Call to Action August 23, 2020 Sermon: There Is No Plan B

1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the

house where they were sitting. 3

And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 4

And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the

Spirit gave them utterance. 5

And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. 6

Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because

that every man heard them speak in his own language. 7

And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which

speak Galilaeans? 8

And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? 9

Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and

Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, 10

Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of

Rome, Jews and proselytes, 11

Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God. 12

And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this? 13

Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.

Here are some details about the upcoming Ecclesiastes Bible

1) The study guides have arrived. Contact Jill Akins at the
