Pentecost and the Betrothed of Christ

Speaker: Troy Phelps

Date: 5/24/26

This sermon explores Pentecost through the beautiful lens of first-century Jewish betrothal, revealing that Pentecost was not only the beginning of the New Testament Church, but also the formal beginning of Christ’s covenant relationship with His future Bride. By examining the ancient marriage process alongside scriptures about the Holy Spirit, the Church, and the Bride of Christ, this message highlights how believers today are living in the spiritual “betrothal period” — preparing themselves through God’s Spirit for the return of Jesus Christ and the coming marriage feast.
