John the Baptizer prophecied about a day that would come through the work of the Messiah when we would be baptized with God's Holy Spirit (Matt.3:11). The work of Christ to bring redemption found its fulfillment on this day. The crucifixion dealt with our sin; the resurrection secured for us eternal life; but it is on this day of Pentecost that Jesus gave us the promise of God (John 20:19-23; and John 14:26). From this moment onwards, believers have been empowered by God's Holy Spirit to share the Gospel (Acts 2:1-4; and Acts 2:39).
We will be holding a Pentecost Festival here at the church over the weekend of May 22nd & 23rd with guest speaker and presenter Eileen McDonald from Celebrate Messiah. Participants will discover the Hebrew background to this festival, its fulfillment with Christ, and its meaning and purpose for us Christians today. This church supports Celebrate Messiah's ministry and we have had Eileen speak at previous functions, including last year's Passover Meal.
