St Peters Orthodox Church

June 16, 2019 - On the Feast of Pentecost the Holy Spirit would be poured out upon mankind. That day, having been filled with the Holy Spirit, Christ's disciples were gifted with the languages of all who converged into Jerusalem to celebrate this great feast. So many in Jerusalem would experience Christ through His disciples by the Holy Spirit. Jesus says in the Gospel of St. John Chapter 15 that one of the roles of the Holy Spirit would be to testify of Him through His disciples. God's desire and means by which salvation would be brought to the ends of the earth has never changed. He ministers salvation in and through His people who have now been filled with the Holy Spirit.
