S10E53: Tongues Aflame (Pentecost 2023)
Sermon #554
What we see at the birth of the Church at Pentecost is a reversal of what God did at Babel. Whereas the people building a tower to heaven were all together in one place with one language trying to exalt themselves, the 120 in the upper room were all together in one place with one accord trying to glorify God. And so the Spirit of God fell upon them and gave them the ability to speak in the language of the people - at least fifteen regions and dialects that are listed in Acts Chapter 2. When our efforts are to give glory to God and to proclaim the Gospel, the Holy Spirit will likewise give us utterance, if only we are willing to open our mouths and loosen our tongues.
Acts 2:1-21
