    The Spirit of the Risen Lord

    Speaker: Omar Ortiz

    Series: Acts: Windows into the Missional Church

    Category: Sermon

    Group Discussion:

    1. How could Jesus be calling you to foster a multi-lingual, multi-cultural, multi-racial expression of the church?  What are tangible things that you can do? How could the members of your life group help you?
    2. In what ways could HCC as a community grow in its ability to be a multi-lingual, multi-cultural, multi-racial expression of the church?
    3. In Acts 2:11ff we see various responses to the arrival of Holy Spirit.  We see people amazed, mocking, and believing. What is your response to the idea of the Spirit working to build a multi-lingual, multi-cultural, multi-racial expression of the church today?
    4. Discuss the quote by Tim Keller:
      "On the first day of Jesus’ church, he refused to choose one language or one culture to minister in! If the apostles had spoken in Hebrew or Aramaic or Greek — the signal would have been set that the gospel was primarily for just one people group. But the Lord on Pentecost shows the world that the gospel is for every tongue, tribe, people, and nation. The first “worship service” is multi-lingual, multi-cultural, multi-racial in the extreme."
