## Resource

This week on "Encounter God's Truth," we draw from the classic teaching of Bible scholar Dr. John Whitcomb, as we begin a two-part study on "The Significance of Pentecost." We open by looking at the Old Testament background of this harvest festival, which God gave as a special time for all the men of Israel to gather for worship. Dr. Whitcomb showed how, according to Jewish tradition, Pentecost in the Old Testament was a remembrance of the day when Moses gave the law at Mount Sinai—when God officially formulated the nation of Israel. Later, host Wayne Shepherd asked our teacher about the Holy Spirit's Old Testament work and whether or not Old Testament believers were regenerated. God's Word is true from the beginning to the end!
