This week we celebrated Pentecost, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the nations!Our sermon explored how the curse of confusing languages at the Tower of Babel was actually a merciful act by God. Rather than reversing Babel, the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost redeemed the multiplicity of languages and cultures so the Gospel could be contextualized for every nation.God's plan has always included a multi-cultural people expressing His beauty through diverse languages and cultures. The church can celebrate this diversity, and reject prejudice against any ethnicity. All find their needs met in Christ without any culture being inherently superior.As believers strive together in unity, serving others and preaching the Gospel, they experience the outpouring of God's Spirit. This allows them to prophesy, or testify, to God's truth in every tongue. The curse of Babel is redeemed so the multi-cultural church can comprehend and share the Good News with every family, language, people, and nation!Sermon summary developed with the help of AI.
