2. Pentecost: What an Amazing Day
Have you ever anticipated a momentous event?
How do you think the apostles felt as they
anticipated the Holy Spirit coming upon them
(Acts 1:7-8)?
On the Day of Pentecost, it happened (Acts 2:1-4).
Pentecost: Fulfilled prophecy
 Acts 2:15-16; Joel 2:28-32
 Psalm 16:8-11, 132:11
 God delivers on His promises
 Deuteronomy 18:21-22: God is working

3. Pentecost: What an Amazing Day
Pentecost: A risen Savior
 Acts 2:22-23: Multitudes knew about Jesus’
miracles and played a part in His death
 V. 24: God put an end to the agony of death
 V. 32: Apostles were witnesses (I Cor. 15:4-8;
II Peter 1:16; John 21:24; I John 1:1-3).
 Romans 1:4: Resurrection proved that Jesus
was the Son of God
 Through Christ, we overcome death (I John 2:2).

4. Pentecost: What an Amazing Day
Pentecost: A Heavenly King
 Jesus at right hand of God (Acts 1:9, 2:34-36;
Psalm 110:1-2).
 Earthly kings come and go. We have a heavenly King
whose kingdom is not of this world (John 18:36).
 The church prophesied (Dan. 2:44-45; Col. 1:13).
Pentecost: Forgiveness
 Peter did not condemn; he preached a message of
forgiveness (Acts 2:37-41).
 Jesus’ sacrifice: The only one necessary for us (Heb.
10:4, 10-18).

5. Pentecost: What an Amazing Day
Pentecost: Change
 Acts 2:41-47: 3,000 people listened, repented and
were baptized.
 That growth created additional needs and
responsibilities—it changed lives.
This power still works today
 What occurred 2,000 years ago still stands today—
prophecies, a risen Savior and forgiveness of sins.
Have you allowed the power of that message to
save you and change your life (Acts 2:38)?
