Gene Baur is the founder of Farm Sanctuary, a place of rescue, refuge, and adoption for hundreds of farm animals each year. Farm Sanctuary shelters enable visitors to connect with farm animals as emotional, intelligent individuals. Gene has also led campaigns to change laws about animal treatment and taken undercover photographs of farms, stockyards, and slaughterhouses, documenting deplorable conditions. His pictures and videos exposing factory farming cruelties have aired nationally and internationally, educating millions about the plight of modern farm animals, and his rescue work inspired an international farm sanctuary movement. Once called “the conscience of the food movement” by Time magazine, Gene walks the walk and talks the talk when it comes to food and animal rights. Jay and Gene discuss the political and cultural steps that will bring about the end of factory farming and a healthier approach to animals and food.

"The timid will never forgive, only the brave. It takes courage to forgive someone when they haven't asked for it. . . and only the strong will have the courage to let go of the past." --Pastor Steve Dow In this powerful message, Pastor Steve Dow challenges listeners to reconsider what it means to "drop the F-bomb." Moving beyond its cultural connotation of anger and revenge, he reveals that the most impactful "F-bomb" we can drop is the one of forgiveness. He explains that holding on to unforgiveness, no matter how justified it may feel, traps us in a cycle of bitterness and hinders our relationship with God. With scripture and a compelling look at Jesus's own example, he lays out a path to true freedom that comes not from seeking an apology, but from choosing to forgive—and let go—even when the other person doesn't repent. This message is a wake-up call to release the burdens of the past and step into the power and freedom of a forgiven life. +++++++ You can find our service times on our website: https://www.anctally.com/ You can find sermon highlights on Twitter here: https://x.com/allnationstally…

The trip’s leader, Pastor Steve, also shares his heart for missions and explains his "ulterior motive" behind sending people on these trips, revealing how God uses such experiences to put a "hook" in a person's heart, leading them to a deeper level of service. +++++++ You can find our service times on our website: https://www.anctally.com/ You can find sermon highlights on Twitter here: https://x.com/allnationstally…
"Wherever you're struggling, whatever you're going through today, it's not proof of God's absence, but it's the place where you're going to encounter his presence." --Pastor Chris Dow In this powerful message, Pastor Chris Dow dives into the familiar story of Lazarus to reveal a profound truth: Jesus knows your name. While we often focus on the miraculous resurrection, Pastor Dow highlights that the greatest miracle is not a dead man coming to life, but the eternally existent Word of God standing in our own cemeteries. Discover how Jesus's personal call brings life, confidence, and a new identity that isn't dependent on your circumstances, but on His presence and power. +++++++ You can find our service times on our website: https://www.anctally.com/ You can find sermon highlights on Twitter here: https://x.com/allnationstally…
Pastor Steve Dow explores the unexpected "value of pain," asserting that while suffering is an unavoidable part of life, believers can endure it without being defeated. He emphasizes that God is in control, sets limits on suffering, and uses pain to refine us, build our character, and equip us to minister to others, ultimately leading to a stronger trust in Him. +++++++ You can find our service times on our website: https://www.anctally.com/ You can find sermon highlights on Twitter here: https://x.com/allnationstally…
Pride is our greatest enemy because it makes God our enemy. Pride contends for supremacy with God. Sin leads us further from God; Pride attempts to elevate us above God. Pride is self-obsession; preoccupation with ourselves. The only cure for pride-Humility. Humility is a form of self-forgetfulness as opposed to pride’s self-fixation. Pride can lead to self-exultation or it can lead to self-degradation. C.S. Lewis, “True humility is not thinking less of ourselves, but thinking of ourselves less.” Pride is a collision course with God Himself. Isaiah 2:12 The collision between the glory of God and the pride of man has two possible crash sites: Hell or the cross. +++++++ You can find our service times on our website: https://www.anctally.com/ You can find sermon highlights on Twitter here: https://x.com/allnationstally…

The Cost of Freedom John 8:32-36 2 Corinthians 3:17 July 6, 2025 Freedom; the most sought-after commodity in the world. What is freedom? The power of choice to make responsible decisions for oneself and ones future. I. The Desire for freedom is one of the strongest desires of the human soul. Over the centuries men have given their lies and fortunes for freedom. It is a desire placed within every human since Adam and Eve. Genesis 1:27-28 II. Privilege of Freedom. a. It is a privilege to walk in freedom. Galatians 5:1 Romans 8:1-2 We must exercise our free rights. Acts 22:25-28 John 8:36 Galatians 3:1, 4:7 b. We must use our freedom to provide it to others. 1 Corinthians 9:19 III. The price of freedom. John 3:16 Galatians 1:4 1 Timothy 2:5-6 God is aware of your desire for freedom. He gave it to you! He paid the price for your freedom through Jesus. Freedom comes through surrender. Are you ready to surrender to God? +++++++ You can find our service times on our website: https://www.anctally.com/ You can find sermon highlights on Twitter here: https://x.com/allnationstally…

1 Timothy 6:11-12 1. Fight for your family. 1 Timothy 6:12 A fundamental spiritual truth: Life is War! Greek word “agonizomai”, translated ‘fight,’ is only used 8 times in the New Testament. Four times it teaches us that: John 18:36-the fight is not fought by normal means. 1 Corinthains 9:25 The fight requires discipline and self-control. Colossians 4:12 The fight is fought on the battlefield of prayer. Colossians 1:29 The fight requires our labor and God’s power. The home is under attack in the 21st Century. We must fight in faith, not in fear. 2. When we fight, God fights for us. Nehemiah 4:13-23 Noah was the 8th person on the Ark. Joahua challenged Israel to choose who they would serve. Joshua 24:2, 15 Job continually lifted his 10 children before the Lord through sacrifice. When we are praying, fasting and pleading the Blood of Jesus over our families, God will fight for us! 3. Be aware of dangerous distraction. 1 Timothy 6:3-10 What is distracting you? What is pulling your family away? Display actively what you are saying, don’t just say it, Live it! +++++++ You can find our service times on our website: https://www.anctally.com/ You can find sermon highlights on Twitter here: https://x.com/allnationstally…
Wait! Acts 1:4-8 June 8, 2015 Jesus last command to the disciples was, Wait! Time spent waiting often becomes a paradox. Go-but wait Conquer by yielding Reign by serving Exalted when humbled Free by becoming bond servants Strongest when weakest Live by dying First is last Often what we expect when we are waiting is not what occurs. Acts 1:6 Waiting gives us an eternal perspective. Romans 14:17 1. Waiting brings clarity. John 16:12-14 We must learn to WAIT with purpose. The purpose is to change us! Truth: Holy Spirit was not poured out to solve the disciple’s problems, but to create new challenges. Waiting could be the most important spiritual work we can do. Waiting helps us to learn that because a dream is delayed doesn’t mean it is denied. Transformation occurs while we wait. 2. We must wait with promise. Psalm 149:2 Psalm 27:13-14 Psalm 37:7-9 3. We must wait for power. Acts 2:1-3 Wind that does not destroy- Fire that does not consume- Fervency that will not be extinguished- Word that cannot be denied. Peter preached the first Gospel message because he chose to wait! +++++++ You can find our service times on our website: https://www.anctally.com/ You can find sermon highlights on Twitter here: https://x.com/allnationstally…

John 21:1-19 Do you need a second chance? Have you wondered if my failure is too great for God’s grace? Maybe Peter’s story is your story too. Jesus set Peter up for a second chance. Matthew 28:10 Peter left Jerusalem a failure, a washout, a has-been. Sound like someone you may know. Who many times have you said, “Why me, why here, why now?” When God sets us up for a second chance, He is really setting us up for a comeback no man could orchestrate. Ever wondered if God still has a place for you? Remember, God is NOT finished with you yet! Jesus does not leave us in our failures. He redeems us from them. Peter went home to Galilee. It is a deep human tendency that when we feel lost, unsure of our purpose or like we’ve failed, we go back to old places, habits and ways of thinking. Peter went fishing. John 21:4-14 He returned to what he knew best, yet even with his expertise, he caught nothing. Maybe your frustration is to prepare you for a second chance! Jesus met Peter at the same place He had originally called Peter, Peter reacted to Jesus’s voice-not because of a miraculous catch, but because he had been caught! Three times Jesus asked Peter if he loved Him. It wasn’t about affection; it was about commitment. To step into your second chance, you must commit to Jesus and His will for your life. Peter’s denial had been public, now his restoration was public. Jesus made it clear; Peter’s failure did not define him; his calling did. What does this mean for us? • Jesus does not give up on us, even when we fall short. Lamentations 3:22-23 • Love for Jesus always leads to action. 1 John 3:18 • God uses our failures for His glory. Acts 2:14-41 Jesus is in the business of second chances! +++++++ You can find our service times on our website: https://www.anctally.com/ You can find sermon highlights on Twitter here: https://x.com/allnationstally…
This episode explores the crucial question: "What Comes Next?" After achieving milestones like marriage, healing, or church mergers, it's vital to seek God's wisdom for the next season. Drawing from Solomon's request for wisdom, we learn that heavenly wisdom, found in Christ and through the Holy Spirit, is essential for progress, vision, sacrifice, making room for the Holy Spirit, generous giving, prioritizing God's house, and discipling others. It's a call to move beyond past successes and actively pursue God's agenda for the future.…
1 Samuel 17:4-11 How do you see your giants? As an insurmountable obstacle or an opportunity for God to show His power? “In any situation, what you ARE determines what you see, what you SEE determines what you DO” Hadden Robinson There are two ways to view giants: 1. A limited view that brings fear. 1 Samuel 17:24-25 ‘defy’ means ‘to taunt, ridicule, humiliate’ Satan want you to cower so he can mock you! When we live by sight, we are defeated before the battle starts. 2. An unlimited view that brings courage. 1 Samuel 17:26 Any giant that come our way is not just a threat to us, but a defiance and insult to our Living God and His abilities. Four things David did to defeat Goliath: 1. He ignored doubts expressed by those around him. 1 Samuel 17:33 2. He remembered his ‘proof’ stories. 1 Samuel 17:34-37 3. He disregarded the solutions of man in favor of God. 1 Samuel 17:38-40 4. He acted boldly in the face of Goliath. 1 Samule 17:43-47 Remember: Giants do not fall until you load your slingshot! +++++++ You can find our service times on our website: https://www.anctally.com/ You can find sermon highlights on Twitter here: https://x.com/allnationstally…

John 20:19-31 For the disciples, the Resurrection, didn’t immediately erase their fear, uncertainty, or questions. They had seen the empty tomb, but they still struggled to understand what it all meant. They were left wondering, what now? We all have wrestled with doubt, but Jesus is not threatened by our doubts; He meets us in them. Doubt isn’t the end of faith; it’s often the beginning of deeper trust in Jesus. 1. The Disciples were afraid. John 20:19 Fear can be paralyzing. Notice: In their fear, Jesus came to them. In their fear, Jesus gives them purpose. John 20:21 A shift occurs; the disciples are moved from fear to faith. John 20:22 2. Faith is not always easy. John 20:24 Thomas refuses to believe without seeing. John 20:25 Consider this, maybe he is not rejecting faith, but wrestling with it. Notice: Thomas does not walk away from the disciples. Remember: Armies of one are easily defeated. Hebrews 10:23-25 3. God is not distant from our doubts; He is in the middle of them. John 20:26 Jesus let Thomas see to believe. John 20:27 Notice: Jesus does not rebuke or shame Thomas for his doubts, rather he confronts them and offers proof. God is not afraid of our honest struggles. Psalm 34:4 Notice: Thomas no longer sees Jesus as his teacher, he now recognizes Him as God! John 20:28 Honest doubt can lead to deeper faith. We must learn to trust God in the process. Jesus spoke a blessing that reaches even to us today. John 20:29 What do we do during times of doubt? Stay connected. Bring our doubts to Jesus. Remember: Faith is not about having every answer, it’s about choosing to trust the One who does. +++++++ You can find our service times on our website: https://www.anctally.com/ You can find sermon highlights on Twitter here: https://x.com/allnationstally…

The Resurrection of Jesus is a definitive invasion of God! The dawn of that first Resurrection Sunday revealed the power of God beyond anything humanity had ever known. God used opposition to reveal His opportunity. We live in a world in which God gets the last word. The Resurrection was never an impersonal concept of popwer, but a personal encounter with power. 1 Corinthians 15:3-8 This power does not come to a planet but to a people, not to a universe but to YOU. 1. This power releases us by defeating the power of sin and shame. Romans 3:23 Colossians 2:13-14 Jesus words on the cross, “It is finished” equals “Paid in full”, and the resurrection serves as the receipt! The resurrection testifies to the fact that Jesus has defeated the power of Hell, death and the grave forever. 2. This power restores us by defeating the power of evil. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Jesu not only offers eternal life but an abundant life. His purpose is not to add days to our lives but life to our days! 3. This power reveals eternity. Hebrews 2:14-15 Christ came to us who are living only to die, and showed us how to die to live. “Die before you die. There’s no chance after.“ C.S. Lewis +++++++ You can find our service times on our website: https://www.anctally.com/ You can find sermon highlights on Twitter here: https://x.com/allnationstally…

The four Gospels give the biography of Jesus. Four different writers with four different perspectives. Yet all four, focus on the last week of Jesus life. 35% of each book is devoted to the last week. Matthew, Luke, Mark (Peter) and John, all felt we could not understand Jesus unless we understood this last week of His life. Palm Sunday is a Day and a Doorway. It matters because of the paradoxes revealed. A week that begins in triumph ends in tragedy. The Jews were expecting Jesus to overthrow the Roman rulers, but instead, He overthrew death, hell, the grave, sin and darkness. The last week signaled a paradigm shift for humanity. From cheering crowds to the weeping Christ. From joy to judgement. From waving palm branches to waving whips. Matthew 21 tells of Jesus cleansing the Temple. The Jews were expecting a Regime Change-they got a Revolution! Mark 11, the donkey takes up half the story. Why does Jesus need this donkey? Why does He get it in such an unusual way? This begs the question: What does He need from you? What do you have that no one else has to advance the Kingdom? Luke 19 contrasts the reaction to Jesus: a story of Mixed Reviews. John 12 is a preview of Coming Attractions; by tying Jesus’ entry to Lazarus’ death and resurrectionS, previews what Jesus will go through. John 12;23-24 Palm Sunday is not, and cannot be, just a day of triumph (He’s King!), but also the start of His suffering (the only crown this King will wear is thorns). It wasn’t long before those singing “Hosanna,” were shouting, “Crucify Him.” Philippians 2:5-11 Christ’s trajectory- kenosis-downward emptying, then upward exaltation. The same path is required for believers today! The last week of Jesus’ life is a tale of two basins: The basin Jesus used to wash the disciple’s feet. The basin Pilot used to wash his hands of responsibility for this state-sponsored murder. The last week of Jesus life was a turning point, from action to passion. Things are no longer done by Him, but TO Him. Jesus most powerful work is done in His passion. Could it just be possible that our greatest contribution in life may be not through our achievements as usually defined but through our suffering?” This week culminated with Jesus dying between two felons. Jesus became the One who does not count, so He could rescue all of us who do not count. Today, we celebrate the day, and we walk through the Doorway! +++++++ You can find our service times on our website: https://www.anctally.com/ You can find sermon highlights on Twitter here: https://x.com/allnationstally…

THE TRUTH ABOUT TITHING: TIPS OR TITHE GENESIS 4:1-7 Why did God reject Cain’s offering and accept Abel’s? It was a matter of the heart! Cain tipped God; Abel obeyed God. Do we have the heart of Cain or Abel? When it comes to our finances, who are we going to thank and who are we going to trust? What we do with our finances reveals the condition of our heart. Truth: God doesn’t need our money; He wants our heart! Tithing is not about getting something out of us, it is about doing something for us! The account of Cain and Abel teaches us: 1. Tithing reveals the condition of the heart. An unholy hold on money divides every aspect of our lives. Blessed money unifies. 2. Tithing determines how much God can trust me. 3. Tithing determines how long my giving lives. Hebrews 11:4 My faith in God speaks longer than I live on earth. Everything we work to accumulate (possessions) dies with us.

THE TRUTH ABOUT TITHING I KINGS 17:10-22 She Was Afraid! 1 Kings 17:13-16 When we obey God, there is ALWAYS enough! She Was Tested! 1 Kings 17:15-16 Who are we going to thank and who are we going to trust? More money is not the answer-More faith in God is! Faith activates God and moves His hand in our behalf. Tithing is NOT giving; Tithing is RETURNING! Truth: Generosity begins at 11%! Some argue that tithing is an Old Testament law, remember this: Jesus NEVER lowered the bar; He raised the bar. Matthew 5:17-30 Jesus taught tithing. Luke 11:42 She Received The Supply! 1 Kings 17:15-16 There was no natural solution to this problem. Truth: God doesn’t need the natural to do the supernatural! If He can get it thru you, He will get it to you! She Experienced The Promise! 1 Kings 17:21-22 Her son dies-obeying God doesn’t mean your business will never go under, you will never get cancer, you will never lose a child, you will never go through a divorce.

Mark 2:1-12 The text is a story of four friends who went the extra mile to get their friend to Jesus. His situation was hopeless. There was no medicine, treatment, or cure. He needed something supernatural. Note: The four didn’t try to ‘fix’ their friend but took him to Jesus, someone who could ‘fix’ him. The Bible doesn’t name these four, but they loved their friend enough to get him to Jesus. It is amazing what can happen when we don’t care who gets the credit! How long has it been since you have done something radical to reveal Jesus? What ‘roof’ needs to be torn off your life so someone can see Jesus? Mark 2:5 ‘Jesus saw their faith’-faith that made them do something radical. The paralyzed man was brought for forgiveness but for healing. Jesus wants to address the sins of our lives before the needs of our physical life. When we do radical things to get our friends to Jesus, things can get messy! Why Does God Give Breakthroughs? For His glory (Revelation 4:11, Isaiah 43:7). To manifest His works (John 9:3). For His name’s sake—we belong to His kingdom. 5 things about Wisdom in the Bible: 1. Earthly Wisdom (1 Corinthians 2:5-6) – Focused on human reasoning, limited. 2. Demonic Wisdom – Deceptive and self-serving. 3. Godly Wisdom (James 3:17) – Pure, peaceable, and full of mercy. 4. Jesus as Wisdom (1 Corinthians 1:24) – The embodiment of divine wisdom. 5. Wisdom as a Spirit (Isaiah 11:2, Deuteronomy 34:9) – Can be imparted for divine insight and leadership. How Does Breakthrough Come? Through Wisdom (Proverbs 24:3-4). By Seeking God’s Wisdom (Proverbs 2:6, James 1:5). By Overcoming Worldly Wisdom (1 Corinthians 2:5-6). By Walking in Godly Wisdom (James 3:17). Conclusion Breakthrough comes through faith, obedience, and seeking divine wisdom. Recognizing the enemy’s tactics (fear, lies, intimidation) is crucial to overcoming struggles. Biblical examples affirm that God desires to bring supernatural intervention to His people. By walking in wisdom and trusting in God, we can experience the victory He has planned for us. +++++++ You can find our service times on our website: https://www.anctally.com/ You can find sermon highlights on Twitter here: https://x.com/allnationstally…

Strength through Power-Gifts of Healings Acts 1:8 1 Corinthians 12:7-11 Our path to strength is the dynamic of the Spirit of God. It is not the power of human personality, organization or eloquence. Strength through power is displayed through the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. Gifts of Healings defined: the ability to be used as an instrument of God in a supernatural way to restore health. Why is this gift plural? Three levels of healing: physical, emotional/psychological, spiritual. Example of Jesus: Luke 5-paralyzed man with four friends John 5-Lame man at pool of Bethesda Luke 17-Ten lepers Why are the Gifts of Healings needed? Our bodies are important to our ministry. 1 Corinthians 6:15 and 19 Romans 12:1 The Bible gives us instructions for the operation of Gifts of Healings-James 5:14-16 Examples of Gifts of Healings in Acts: Acts 3:1-10 Lame man at the Gate Beautiful Acts 5:12-16 Peter’s shadow Acts 9:36-43 Tabitha raised to life Acts 19:11-12 Unusual miracles and Paul’s sweat rags Acts 28:1-10 Poisonous snake bite, Father of Publius healed, all those with diseases on Malta healed. +++++++ You can find our service times on our website: https://www.anctally.com/ You can find sermon highlights on Twitter here: https://x.com/allnationstally…

Strength through Power Acts 1:8 Matthew 28:18-19 It is an amazing thing that God would choose to trust a group of quitters to take the message of salvation to the world. The disciples had all quit. They were discouraged, depressed, and defeated. Yet 40 days with Jesus and they had a change of attitude and perspective. That is what we all need, dose of Jesus. Our Mission is not to be man pleasing but Spirit lead. This requires us to: 1. Live by His Power! Colossians 1:19-20 MSG Requires the power of God to overcome our biases and prejudices. 2. Pray big prayers. Acts 4:29-31(NKJV) We risk missing the amazing things God has for us because we do not ask for them. Pray and praise, in the dark so that what God is preparing will be revealed to us in the light. Isaiah 54:1-3 How we pray and praise says a lot about what you think about God. 3. Exchange fear and self-doubt for strength and courage. Acts 5:29-32(NKJV) Fear isn’t simply an emotion. The Bible tells us it’s a spirit from the enemy (2 Timothy 1:7). God has not called us to something he has not equipped us for. 4. Prepare for new things. Acts 10:42-46 “God’s Word is the most effective guard against fear”! 5. Position God’s presence to guide your life. Acts 13:1-3(NKJV) You can’t take the land until God takes the lead. We need to soak ourselves in God’s Word because we can’t follow what we don’t know! We must let faith – not fear – forecast our future. +++++++ You can find our service times on our website: https://www.anctally.com/ You can find sermon highlights on Twitter here: https://x.com/allnationstally…

Jesus told the disciples to stay in Jerusalem until the promise of the Father was fulfilled. That promise was “power from on high.” Luke 24:49 Jesus reiterated this command and promise in Acts 1:8. Holy Spirit gives us power to bring the strength to accomplish His plans. Three significant truths about His coming: 1. Holy Spirit has been poured out and promised to all believers. Holy Spirit wasn’t just with believers, He took up residence in them. Acts 2:38 makes the promise of His power available to all who believe. The outpouring of Holy Spirit on Pentecost was the fulfillment of Jesus promise in John 14:16-17. Today, too many are involved with Christianity, but few are committed to the cause of Christ which is reaching the world with the Gospel. 2. God’s plan is to spread the Gospel to all nations through the church. Matthew 16:18 Ephesians 3:10 Matthew 24:14 Acts 1:8 Ever since the birth of the church in Acts 2, the church’s mandate is to gather, grow, give and go with the Gospel! 3. All believers should be impowered to be witnesses of Christ. The outpouring of Holy Spirit was not so believers could have an experience for self-edification but that all believers would be empowered to live on mission by telling His story! Power to witness only comes from Holy Spirit. Salvation of the world is the reason for the outpouring of Holy Spirit. Everything He does is to empower believers to have the strength to be His witnesses. +++++++ You can find our service times on our website: https://www.anctally.com/ You can find sermon highlights on Twitter here: https://x.com/allnationstally…

Holy Spirit gives us power to give us strength to accomplish the plans of God. This strength is revealed through three miraculous signs. These signs are audible, visual and verbal. 1. Power Acts 2:2 2. Presence Acts 2:3 3. Proclamation Acts 2:4 ESV And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance. The word for “tongues” gloce'-sah – language-specifically one naturally unacquired. Acts 2:5-7 “bewildered” means they were confounded and confused because they were hearing the praises of God in their own native languages. Acts 2:7 “And they were amazed and astonished, saying, ‘Are not all these who are speaking Galileans?’ The reaction of the Jews to these three signs makes me wonder why we aren’t more filled with awe, wonder, amazement and astonishment when we consider the mighty works of God. Acts 2:9-11 tells us Christianity is NOT a western white people religion. To evangelize effectively today, we must bridge cultural barriers and preach the gospel in one’s first language. Question: Are we pilgrims or settlers? if the settler mindset dominates a church, we will not reach our neighborhoods or the nations of the world for Christ. It isn’t just missionaries that need a risk-taking, comfort-disturbing, semi-nomadic, pilgrim mindset. We all do. Christ did not call us to settle in on this earth as it is. He called us to be exiles and sojourners on the earth. In one generation, the Gospel exploded everywhere! Remember: The signs are incidental but Holy Spirit is ESSENTIAL! +++++++ You can find our service times on our website: https://www.anctally.com/ You can find sermon highlights on Twitter here: https://x.com/allnationstally…

Acts 2:1-13 Holy Spirit’s power to give us the strength to accomplish His plans! Acts 2:1 “When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place.” We are Better Together! Pentecost means ‘fifteth’. Refers to the Jewish feast of Shavuot- 50 days after Passover. Pentecost is a harvest festival! Acts 2:41 ‘So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.’ When the law was given-3,000 died. When Holy Spirit was given-3,000 were saved! This Pentecost fulfilled its eternally determined destiny. To provide power to give strength to believers. This power was introduced with spectacular signs: 1. Power Acts 2:2 ‘And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting.’ Suddenly-abruptly, unexpectedly and immediately. Not an actual wind but the sound of a mighty rushing wind. Violent blasting roar. 2. Presence Acts 2:3 ‘and divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them.’ No one was left out and no one was excluded. Do you long for the power to be stronger? He is here to give it to you today! +++++++ You can find our service times on our website: https://www.anctally.com/ You can find sermon highlights on Twitter here: https://x.com/allnationstally…
