Pentecost & Shavuot

Acts 2:4 “All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.” (NIV)

This weekend marks the holy days of Pentecost and Shavuot, two of the most important holy days to Christians and Jews respectively. According to the rabbinical tradition, Shavuot is the day that marked God giving the Torah to Moses on Mount Sinai. This was said to happen on the same day of Pentecost, which is the day the Holy Spirit was poured out on many and they all began to speak in tongues of different languages.

Enjoy this powerful encouragement from Dr. Juergen Buehler, and the reading of the word from our international staff in their native languages as we celebrate the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives!

Happy Pentecost and Shavout from the ICEJ to you and your family!
