May 24th, 2026 Sermon -- "Is The Lord's Power LImited?" (Pentecost Sunday)

May 24th, 2026 Sermon -- "Is The Lord's Power LImited?" (Pentecost Sunday)

The sermon was prepared for Pentecost Sunday and the focus text is Number 11:24-30. This would not be the usual text for Pentecost: Acts 2:1-21. After 18 years of ministry, I was looking for a different sermon preparation experience. It turns out that this lesson is an excellent fit for Pentecost and it turned into what I think was a good sermon ;-). It speaks of how we shouldn't (and can't) limit the Holy Spirit!
