Devotions for this week: 

Gifts of the Spirit (Pentecost)            May 15, 2016

SHARE:   What was a high point of your day? What was a low point?

READ: Read the following daily readings to deepen your understanding

Sunday, Acts 2:1-4, Gifts of the Spirit (Pentecost)

Monday, 1 Corinthians 12:1-13, Gifts of the Spirit

Tuesday, Acts 10:1-33, Peter and Cornelius

Wednesday, Acts 10:34-43, Gentiles Hear the Good News

Thursday, Acts 10:44-48, Gentiles Receive the Holy Spirit

Friday, Acts 16:6-10, Paul’s Vision of the Man of Macedonia

Saturday, Acts 16:11-15, The Conversion of Lydia

TALK:  Consider some of these ideas:

All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability. Acts 2:4

On the day of Pentecost (50 days after Christ’s resurrection), many were gathered together when God sent God’s Holy Spirit to enter the world and motivate people to serve God and others. It was a community event that sparked the spread of Christianity worldwide.

  • How does the Holy Spirit move and act within these stories?
  • Who are the people in your community that help spread the word of God? How can you support them in their work?
  • Tell about a time you felt the presence of the Holy Spirit in your life.

Pray: Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in us the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and we shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth. Amen.

Bless: May God fill you with God’s Holy Spirit. Amen.
