IDENTITY: Nuncio to the Nations

This Sunday is Pentecost Sunday! What is Pentecost Sunday? It is the ancient Jewish holiday called, Shavuot. It’s the remembrance of the single most important event in Israel’s history: the giving of the Torah(the first five books in the Hebrew Bible) to Moses at Mount Sinai. However, it’s also a modern holiday that today celebrates the Feast of Weeks. In the New Testament that meant all Jews were commanded to travel to Jerusalem to commemorate that feast. Pentecost is the Greek translation for the Hebrew word Shavuot. The New Testament Pentecost is the Old Testament Feast of Shavuot. Why is that important in our current series of IDENTITY? Because the Day of Pentecost as seen in Acts 2, is the object lesson picture of what God intended the Church to look like in representing His own image. Find out why that is so significant for our lives today!
