4 SCRIPTURE Acts 2:1-8 (NKJV) Coming of the Holy Spirit 2 When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord [a] in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. The Crowd s Response 5 And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven. 6 And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language. 7 Then they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, Look, are not all these who speak Galileans? 8 And how is it that we hear, each in our own language in which we were born? 4

5 RESPONSIVE READING Psalm 96: 1-9 (NKJV) LEADER: Oh, sing to the Lord a new song! Sing to the Lord, all the earth.

For the Lord is great and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods. LEADER: For all the gods of the peoples are idols, But the Lord made the heavens. Honor and majesty are before Him; Strength and beauty are in His sanctuary. CONG: ALL: Give to the Lord, O families of the peoples, Give to the Lord glory and strength. Give to the Lord the glory due His name; Bring an offering, and come into His courts. Oh, worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness! Tremble before Him, all the earth. 5

Do you hear the stirring anthems Filling all the earth and sky? Tis a grand, victorious army Lift its banner up on high! Wave the banner, shout His praises, For our victory is nigh! We shall join our con-q ring Savior, We shall reign with Him on high! 6
