PENTECOST SUNDAY 2019 – JUNE 9

As pastors and ministry leaders, there are dates on the church calendar which hold great significance and shape the messages we share. They also influence what we pray and believe for, as we seek to align our work with that of the Spirit. With Pentecost Sunday soon approaching , we encourage you to challenge your congregation to a deeper walk with the Spirit. The Spirit is at work all across our nation, and around the world. Let’s prepare ourselves in anticipation of a powerful move of the Spirit in our local congregations, today and every day. As we live lives that are fully and actively engaged with the Spirit, may those around us not only see and hear but also experience what it means to live a Spirit-empowered life.

Here are some Pentecost Sunday resources we would like to make available for you to consider in the lead-up to this special day as you prepare your sermon content, or that you can also share with your congregation members for their learning and application.
