Last Days & Living Hope | Acts 2:1–21 | The Fire That Launched the Church

On the day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit came in power—not to create chaos, but to launch the church with clarity, order, and bold gospel proclamation. In this sermon, Pastor Mark Groen walks through Acts 2:1–21 and reminds us that the spark that started in Jerusalem still burns today.The signs and wonders of Pentecost weren’t ends in themselves—they were meant to give authority to the message: that Jesus is Lord, the Spirit has been poured out, and the mission of the church is now in motion. From a fearful denier to a faithful preacher, Peter stands up to declare the gospel boldly. That same Spirit that empowered him empowers us.📖 Scripture: Acts 2:1–21🗓️ Preached: June 8, 2025📍 First Reformed: An Evangelical Presbyterian Church – Edgerton, MN📖 Explore the companion devotions: https://www.edgertonfrc.org/blog/boldness-clarity-gospel-fire-devotions🌐 Visit us: https://edgertonfrc.org
