Resurrection: After the Storm

June 7/8: What We Hope For Our Kids
Preacher: The Rev. Alex Shuttleworth

The series comes to a close this week. At last the Holy Spirit falls upon the disciples empowering them to witness for Jesus. It is the corollary of the ascension. As human flesh is taken up and enthroned, Godly Spirit comes down and dwells in human hearts.
Those who receive, share, and then those who receive what was shared, also share, as do the generations to come.
What do we hope for the generations below us?

The collect for pentecost

O God, who on this day taught the hearts of your faithful people by sending to them the light of your Holy Spirit: Grant us by the same Spirit to have a right judgment in all things, and evermore to rejoice in his holy comfort; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

The lesson: Acts 2: 1-14a, 38-41

The Coming of the Holy Spirit

When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven. And at this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered, because each one was hearing them speak in his own language. And they were amazed and astonished, saying, “Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each of us in his own native language? Parthians and Medes and Elamites and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, 11 both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabians—we hear them telling in our own tongues the mighty works of God.” 12 And all were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?” 13 But others mocking said, “They are filled with new wine.”

Peter’s Sermon at Pentecost

14 But Peter, standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice and addressed them: “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give ear to my words.

The psalm: 22: 27-31

27 All the ends of the world shall remember, and be turned unto the Lord,
and all the families of the nations shall worship before him.

28 For the kingdom is the Lord’s,
and he is the Governor among the peoples.

29 All those who sleep in the earth, how shall they worship him?
All those who go down into the dust, how shall they kneel before him?

30 But my life shall be preserved in his sight, and my children shall worship him;
they shall tell of the Lord to the generations to come;

31 And to a people yet unborn shall they declare his righteousness,
that he has brought it to pass.

The gospel: matthew 28: 18-20

18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
