(Acts 19:1-2) While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul took the road through the interior and arrived at Ephesus.
There he found some disciples and asked them, “Did you receive the Holy Spiritwhen you believed?” They answered, “No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”
(Acts 2:1) When the day of Pentecost came …”
Matthew 5:17) Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.

1 – Passover
The Passover lamb sacrificed at 9 a.m.
The lamb was put in the oven at 3 p.m.
The sacrifice covered their sins.
Jesus was sacrificed at 9 a.m.
Jesus was put in the tomb at 3 p.m.
His sacrifice removed our sins.
(1 Corinthians 5:7) For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.
Passover is all about Salvation
(Ephesians 2:8-9) For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast.

2 - Pentecost
A cloud descended with a loud noise and fire.
God wrote His law on tablets of stone.
3000 people died.
A Holy Spirit descended with a loud sound and fire.
God wrote His law on our hearts.
3000 people got saved.
(Acts 1:3-5) After his suffering, he presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive.
He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God. On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command:
“Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about.
For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”
(Acts 1:8) But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria,
Pentecost is all about the power to make a difference

3 - Tabernacles
They were wandering and living in temporary tents.
They were brought to their final home.
They celebrated it during the harvest season.
We are living on this temporary earth.
We will be brought to our final home in heaven.
There will be a great final harvest of people.
(1 Thessalonians 4:16-17) For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
Tabernacle is all about the 2nd Coming of Christ.
(Acts 2:12) Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, "What does this mean?"

1. The Holy Spirit empowers me to live righteously.
(Romans 8:9) You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you.
(Isaiah 30:21) Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”

2. The Holy Spirit empowers me to live supernaturally.
(Acts 10:38 NLT) And you know that God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power.
Then Jesus went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.
(1 Corinthians 2:4-5) My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power,
so that your faith might not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power.

3. The Holy Spirit empowers me to live on mission.
Pentecost is about
empowering believers with
supernatural ability to
fulfill an important mission.
(1 Thessalonians 1:5) Our gospel came to you not simply with words, but also with power, with the Holy Spirit and with deep conviction.
Being filled with the Holy Spirit
doesn’t make me better than you
it makes me better than me
