Fr. Micah’s Sermon: Pentecost Sunday

Pentecost
 
There is a city, Babel, at the beginning of the Bible. There is another city, the new Jerusalem, at the end. The people of Babel are fearful of being dispersed, but those of Jerusalem are gathering the people of the nations in their unique characters.
In the middle is Pentecost – the power of the Holy Spirit to bring us closer together instead of further apart.
