And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. - The sign of fire (Acts 2:3)
Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. - The sign of tongues (Acts 2:4)
And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit give them utterance.

- Pentecostal Preaching
- Peter’s Preaching (Acts 2:14)
But Peter, standing up with the eleven, raised his voice and said to them, “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and heed my words.“ - Jesus Exalted (Acts 2:32)
This Jesus God has raised up, of which we are all witnesses. - Results Given (Acts 2:37-41)
Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Men and brethren, what shall we do?” Then Peter said to them, ‘’Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord or God will call. “ And with many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Be saved from this perverse generation. “Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them.“
- Peter’s Preaching (Acts 2:14)

Listen to understand, not to respond. Pause and focus on your spouse’s words, not your next reply.

Am I hearing that correctly?” Proverbs 19:11 “Sensible people control their temper; they earn respect by overlooking wrongs.”

Ministry Spotlight
Vacation Bible School
July 14th – 18th
This year’s Vacation Bible School “Wonder Junction” is quickly approaching. Come join us for this outreach to our community. The children will travel to Wonder Junction and learn about the “Wonder of Jesus”, His life, His death on the cross for our sins, His resurrection, and His plan to come back for all who believe in Him. Each year, God brings us a large number of children who have no church home and have never heard the Gospel.
What an amazing opportunity we have. Don’t miss the chance to invite your neighbors and your friends’ children while there is still time.
“Come join us before the train for Wonder Junction leaves the station”
We still are in need of helpers for each class as well as a kitchen/snack helper.
Don’t miss the fun!
