Tongues like fire. And a question that has shaped the Church for two thousand years: what is all of this for? On Pentecost Sunday, Deacon Cindy Miller turns to Acts 2 and to Paul's answer in 1 Corinthians 12 to explain that the manifestations of the Spirit are given, he writes, for the common good. Not for spiritual elites. Not gifts to collect. This is power lent for the sake of others. Cindy traces the line from Mount Sinai to Pentecost with fire from heaven confirming first the Law, then the indwelling Spirit, no longer in a single place but on many. She offers a clear test for discernment (anything the Spirit says to you will be consistent with Scripture, period). And she closes with a story from her years as a hospital chaplain about a nudge, a stranger, and a conversation neither of them had planned. A sermon for anyone who has wondered whether the Holy Spirit is a doctrine to recite or a presence to recognize. Holy Trinity Silicon Valley. Palo Alto, California.
