Today is Pentecost – a day recorded in the book of Acts when the Holy Spirit descended upon Jesus’ disciples, empowering them to preach the Gospel to the nations. It’s a day that symbolizes a new beginning, celebrating God’s outreach to the entire world. It’s also a time for us to express our thanksgiving for Christ’s fulfilled promises followers that God’s Spirit would dwell within His people. Let’s stand and let God’s word call us to worship:
The love of God has been poured into our hearts
through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us;
we dwell in him and he in us.
Give thanks to the Lord and call upon his name;
make known his deeds among the peoples.
Sing to him, sing praises to him,
and speak of all his marvelous works.
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God almighty,
who was and is and is to come!
—based on Psalm 105:1-2; Romans 5:5; Revelation 4:8
