This series will most likely challenge you and it may upset you. There are issues in the church and in the world that hit sensitive areas. THEY ARE HOT BUTTON ISSUES! In fact, some HOT BUTTON ISSUES are avoided by some pastors because they are afraid that it will cause people to leave the church. However, I believe that these issues are something that we need to address. ALL the issues that we will discuss are discipleship issues and most of them will put us on a different path than the world!

The series for this month is Pentecost! The day of Pentecost is when the 120 in the Upper Room were Baptized with the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues. The Day of Pentecost is when the church was born! It was the day when the church was empowered to evangelize the world! Because of Pentecost…we are learning HOW the Baptism of the Holy Spirit changed the world! We have talked about the personal experience of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and we have talked about the personal effects of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. Effects like boldness, spiritual strength, and transformation. The Pentecostal Experience and Pentecostal Effect leads to Pentecostal Evangelism! Today we are asking the question, what does Pentecostal Evangelism look like? What are the characteristics of Pentecostal Evangelism?

The message this morning is THE PENTECOSTAL EFFECT! What difference or effect does the Baptism of the Holy Spirit have on a person…as well as on congregation! Last week we talked about “WHAT” the Pentecostal Experience is…this week I want you to understand “WHY” it is important! So, today I want you to understand JUST 3 of the Pentecostal Effects!
