The Baptism of the Holy Spirit. In our series on the Holy Spirit we last looked at Matthew 3:11 where John the Baptist promised that with the Messiah and the coming kingdom would be two events: the baptism of the Holy Spirit and a baptism of fire. In Acts 1 we begin to see John’s words come true with the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
But what was this outpouring of the Holy Spirit we read about in Acts? Was it about miracles? This Sunday we resume our series on the Holy Spirit. We will look at the outpouring of the Spirit in Acts, what it meant to those folks, what it means to us. We will also look at the miracles, what they meant and do these gifts still exist today.
