Pentecost is often remembered for the dramatic signs—the rushing wind, the tongues of fire, the burst of speech. But in this sermon based on Acts 2:1–21, Rev. Donn King explores a deeper miracle: not the speaking, but the hearing. Each person in the crowd heard the gospel in their own language, affirming diversity rather than erasing it. This message invites us to see Pentecost not as a call to uniformity, but as a Spirit-led celebration of understanding. Along the way, we are challenged to welcome the stranger, listen more deeply, and trust that God still speaks in ways each of us can hear.
We’d love to see you in person at Lincoln Park-Lynnwood United Methodist Church, 3120 Pershing Street, Knoxville. Come as you are. We’re not in the judging business. We’re in the welcoming business.
