In this Pentecost message, we explore how wind has been a powerful symbol of God's presence and action throughout Scripture — from the drying of the floodwaters in Genesis, to the parting of the Red Sea, to the rushing mighty wind of Acts 2. Through vivid examples spanning the Old and New Testaments, this sermon traces how God has used wind to deliver, provide, judge, and ultimately pour out His Holy Spirit. As we celebrate Pentecost, we're called to stop grasping for what we cannot control and instead embrace the wind of God by walking fully in the Holy Spirit.
