Churches across the United States and elsewhere are observing Pentecost Sunday, referred to as the “birthday of the Church.”

Suspected jihadists ambushed a baptism ceremony where they killed 15 Christians in northern Burkina Faso’s Oudalan province near the Mali border.
Village Church Pastor Matt Chandler identified two “non-negotiables” pastors must employ to lead their churches boldly post-COVID-19 and offered the reminder that though culture is growing “increasingly hostile” to the Body of Christ, the Church was “made for this moment.”

Author Marty Machowski challenges men to “be doers of the word, and not hearers only" (James 1:22) calling them to grow deeper in compassion, kindness, courage, integrity and service.
As we celebrate the birth of the church this Sunday, I think there is a major lesson for believers or, as I like to say, “Pentecost people”: Pentecost people know how to wait — and worship.

And even now the axe is laid at the root of the tree. You brood of vipers, repent from the wrath that is to come. And then Whitefield began to weep and say, “Oh my hearers, my hearers, the wrath that is to come, the wrath...” hear this more
