The Birth of the Church

Erik preached on Pentecost, where the Holy Spirit descends on Jesus’s followers in Acts 2. Here is part of his conclusion:

What does the Holy Spirit do? Makes churches. The Holy Spirit gathers selfish and scattered individuals from every nation, every neighborhood, and every internet platform and unites us into one body. Holiness is a language you cannot learn or use by yourself. Sanctification is a conversation that requires everyone of us to give what we have and receive what we need. That is good news for a lonely generation, like ours. And it’s good news for sinners, like us. Apart, each one of us is unholy. But together, the Spirit is making us into the very body of Christ.
