 The Holy Spirit Comes at Pentecost

Leader: 1 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in
one place.
All: 2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came
from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.
Leader: 3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated
and came to rest on each of them.
All: 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to
speak in other tongues[a] as the Spirit enabled them.
Leader: 5 Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews
from every nation under heaven.
All: 6 When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in
bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being
spoken.
Leader: 7 Utterly amazed, they asked: “Aren’t all these who are
speaking Galileans?
All: 8 Then how is it that each of us hears them in our native
language?
Leader: 9 Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia,
Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
All: 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near
Cyrene; visitors from Rome
Leader: 11 (both Jews and converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs—
we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!”
All: 12 Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, “What does
this mean?”
Leader: 13 Some, however, made fun of them and said, “They have
had too much wine.”
Peter Addresses the Crowd
All: 14 Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and
addressed the crowd: “Fellow Jews and all of you who live in
Jerusalem, let me explain this to you; listen carefully to what I say.

 Call to Worship, John 24:9-19

Prayer

Hymn  “Take The Name of Jesus with You”

Tithes and Offerings, Doxology

Hymn  “Open My Eyes that I May See”

Praise and Prayer

Responsive Reading: John 21:15-25

 Leader: 15 When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon
Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?”
“Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.”
Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.”
All: 16 Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”
He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.”
Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.”
Leader: 17 The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do
you love me?”
Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love
me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.”
Jesus said, “Feed my sheep.
All: 18 Very truly I tell you, when you were younger you dressed
yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will
stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you
where you do not want to go.”
Leader: 19 Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which
Peter would glorify God. Then he said to him, “Follow me!”
All: 20 Peter turned and saw that the disciple whom Jesus loved was
following them. (This was the one who had leaned back against Jesus
at the supper and had said, “Lord, who is going to betray you?”)
Leader: 21 When Peter saw him, he asked, “Lord, what about him?”
All: 22 Jesus answered, “If I want him to remain alive until I return,
what is that to you? You must follow me.”
Leader: 23 Because of this, the rumor spread among the believers
that this disciple would not die. But Jesus did not say that he would
not die; he only said, “If I want him to remain alive until I return,
what is that to you?”
All: 24 This is the disciple who testifies to these things and who
wrote them down. We know that his testimony is true.
Leader: 25 Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them
were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not
have room for the books that would be written.
