Pentecost is often described as the birth of the Church. This momentous festival allows us to consider -- just what is the Church? What was given birth? What is the role of the Spirit? What is our role? Why does God allow us to even participate in matters of the Spirit? This message explains in detail what Jesus foretold in Matthew 16:18. It’s a proclamation linked with a promise, but it’s also based on a premise that demands our participation.
