In this episode, Erin Olson discussuses the importance of the Church not forgetting about Pentecost. So many churches are failing to not only celebrate Pentecost on the date of its observance, but are also failing to help believers understand the importance of the third person of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit.

People and churches who fail to tap into the power of the Holy Spirit are no different than an electric car sitting in a garage with a power supply station set up on the wall, but never gets hooked up to the power supply. The car doesn't work as it should because it doesn't have power. Believers who don't understand what the Holy Spirit offers are no different. Once people understand what Jesus meant when He said He had to leave so the Helper would come (John 16:7), they will understand the Holy Spirit is the Helper who Jesus knew we would need.

Scriptures used:

Matthew 12:34-36, John 3:8

Matthew 10:19-20, Luke 12:11-12

Matthew 12:31-32, Mark 3:28-29

Luke 24:45

Acts 1:4-5

Acts 4:23-31

Acts 8

Galatians 5:17

Ephesians 4:3

1 Thessalonians 5:19

In this episode, Erin Olson discusses how the Church family should not be dsyfunctional in caring for itself and for others. If the Church continues to look like an example of a dysfunctional family, the Church will lose its effectiveness in not only caring for those within the Church but also lose its effectiveness in reaching the unsaved. This letter describes how we are to treat each other with intention and respect.
