Acts 2

Acts 2
Acts 2 talks about how God poured the Holy Spirit among the Jews from all nations and they started to speak in tongues. Others looked at them thinking that they were drunk but then Peter went a spoke out to all the Jews who were there. He said that in the last few days God says that he would pour down the Spirit on all people, sons and daughters will prophesy, young men will see visions and old men will have dreams. Even the slaves would do these things. God would show the people miraculous signs on earth to reveal that he is true and that everyone who calls on his name would be saved.
God pulls all the Jews together to give them the same understanding of what it is that God is doing. All these people have different ideas of what is going on until the spirit comes and they are all able to understand in their own languages. With a group coming together with the foundation of being followers in Christ I believe that brings so much unity. Unity is found in Christ and as long as we follow him in his ways we have a great support behind us. Looking at this passage and as well as looking at my team I see that we need to make sure we are all seeking God will a full heart and that we are all together in unity to be a body of Christ for him. Challenges that we might have as a team could be not understanding the people around while being in Africa for they speak different languages and we will not fully get what is going on.  Just like the Jews didn’t know what was going on when God send down the Spirit.
