ADVENT - Emmanuel in the Church [4a]

Author: Christ Community, an Evangelical Free Church December 21, 2025 Duration: 32:08

Acts 2:1-13; Ephesians 2:19-22 // Paul Brandes

This sermon connects the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2:1-13) with the imagery of the Church as God's Temple (Ephesians 2:19-22). Acts describes the arrival of the Holy Spirit with wind and fire, enabling believers to speak in other languages, breaking down barriers of nationality and race. Ephesians explains the profound result: we are no longer strangers but fellow citizens and part of God's household, being built together on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus as the cornerstone. Discover how the Spirit’s power unites a diverse people into one dwelling place for God.
