In Acts 13, a worshipping community in Antioch hears the Holy Spirit ask for their best leaders—and releases them without resistance. What follows is one of the most dramatic scenes in the book of Acts: a sorcerer, a Roman proconsul, a counterfeit gospel, and a confrontation that ends with one man struck blind and another coming to faith.

This is the Gentile Pentecost. The same Spirit, the same power, the same unmistakable divine signature that fell in Jerusalem now falls on those who were never supposed to be included. This sermon explores what the Spirit’s arrival ...
