Lutheran Witness: June 2006

Jesus spoke of the coming of the Holy Spirit to indwell in men, giving them a new birth into the kingdom of God. And come the Spirit did, in a most miraculous way, among 120 believers gathered on that first Day of Pentecost.

In June, we focus on Pentecost, the birthday of the
hurch, through the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
