120 gathered, filled with the Spirit
Adoration
Gathered - Spirit fills
Word is proclaimed, sacraments offered
Sweet wine
Mike’s Hard Lemonade of wine
Rowdy party
I know rowdy parties
Fun for those at the party
but there are always those on the outside
Peter
54 days ago he denied knowing Jesus 3 times
Now accused of being drunk - but actually filled with the Spirit
Know with the knowledge of the resurrection
He stands
Listen, its only 9am
Fulfill the words of Joel
Spirit would one day be poured out on everyone
They knew of him in the OT
Prophets, very few, for a time
Now, it’s all 120 of us
Jesus, as was God’s plan and your sin, was crucified
Quotes from Psalm 16
It was the plan to never let Jesus see decay
Later 110 - David has died, but was waiting for one greater
Jesus, now Lord and Anointed One
What shall we do?
Repent and be baptized
You will be forgiven and receive the Spirit
Concise takeaways for us this morning:
1. Holy Spirit is here - we are now filled with the promised one
2. Everyone’s invited - multiple languages, young and old, men and women, high and low
3. You might not think you are the person…
4. Gathered and Scattered
3000 baptisms - 120 to 3000 in one day
From all over
Sent back out
Firstfruits of the harvest
Continued - of which we are just a part
Gathering and Scattering
Institute and Organism
Blood
Discern this gathering and scattering
Gathered
Grow - pursue Christ together
Serve
Scattered - this is a box, wide open
God calls all kinds to everywhere!
Take a minute…ask “What does this mean?”
- Repent?
- Grow
- Serve - to the world?
- for one another?

You make all things new
You make all things new
In places we don’t choose
You make all things new
