The Meaning of Joel's Prophecy at Pentecost

By: Mike Mazzalongo     Posted: Mon. Mar 30th

Discussion Questions
  1. How does Peter's use of Joel's prophecy show that the Spirit was meant to be accessible to all, not just a select few?
  2. What difference does it make to see the Spirit's gift as tied to faith, repentance, and baptism rather than miraculous signs alone?
  3. How should this understanding shape our view of the Spirit's work in the church today?
