Joel 2:28-29
Acts 2:1–21


Whither God’s Spirit?
God has been generous with his spirit. In Numbers and in Joel we share the spirit of the Lord shared freely with God’s  prophets The prophet Joel also foretold that that “in the last days,” God will pour out his spirit upon all flesh.” Today we celebrate the fulfillment of Joel’s prophecy, the day we call Pentecost, which occurred some 2000 years ago. But is God still generous with his spirit now?
