Ever wonder why your pulse quickens when a casual chat turns toward Jesus? This Pentecost sermon uncovers the surprising power behind that nervous flutter: the same Spirit who set tongues of fire ablaze still rests on ordinary believers, turning everyday words into Acts 2 witness. Pastor Karl traces the arc from Babel’s confusion to the burning bush and finally to Jerusalem’s crowded streets, showing how Jesus perfected frightened disciples by His cross before clothing them, and us, with supernatural courage. Discover how your own “farm talk” or “nurse jargon” can carry the mighty works of God, and why The Spirit uses all of us. The Holy Spirit empowers everyday witness. This means your voice belongs in the gospel’s unstoppable story.
