Episode Synopsis



Today we are celebrating Pentecost Sunday. What does that mean? 
The term Pentecost comes from the Greek (Pentēkostē) meaning "fiftieth". It refers to the festival celebrated on the fiftieth day after Passover, also known as the "Feast of Weeks".
Pentecostalism emphasises the work of the Holy Spirit and the direct experience of the presence of God by the believer. 
We are Elim Pentecostal and that is taken from the Holy Spirit being poured out at Pentecost in Acts chapter 2.
We believe in the deity of the Holy Spirit who proceeds from the Father and the Son and the necessity of His work in conviction of sin, repentance, regeneration and sanctification, and that the believer is also promised an enduement of power as the gift of Christ through the baptism in the Holy Spirit with signs following. Through this enduement, the believer is empowered for fuller participation in the ministry of the Church, its worship, evangelism and service.

We believe in the operation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit and the gifts of Christ in the Church today.
