Tonight we will be looking as we did the Sunday just gone at Peter and Pentecost. What does Peter's journey with Jesus tell us about what happened at Pentecost? And it what sense is and was the coming of the Holy Spirit a Baptism?

""No man is greater than his prayer life. The pastor who is not praying is playing; the people who are not praying are straying. We have many organizers, but few agonizers; many players and payers, few pray-ers; many singers, few clingers; lots of pastors, few wrestlers; many fears, few tears; much fashion, little passion; many interferers, few intercessors; many writers, but few fighters. Failing here, we fail everywhere.""

Black preacher William J. Seymour had established the Azusa Street Mission in 1906. There, on April 15, 1906 Jennie Evans Moore spoke in tongues at the close of the Easter service. Four days later, on the morning of the San Francisco earthquake, the Los Angeles Times reported “a weird babble of tongues” amid “wild scenes” in the mission. A crowd of blacks and whites created a long service where they sang a ca****la, gave testimony, shouted, and preached in the Spirit.

The core membership of that pioneering mission never exceeded sixty.

Yet its publicity attracted thousands who tried to enter the forty-by-sixty-foot building to see the spectacle of colored and white folks worshiping together.

For three years the meetings increased in influence. Seymour incorporated his ministry as the Pacific Apostolic Faith Movement, and published a magazine called Apostolic Faith, whose circulation reached 50,000 subscribers.

Visitors to Azusa Street included Charles Parham, William Durham, who brought the revival to Chicago, Cecil Polhill of England, “Mother” Elizabeth Wheaton, and Carrie Judd Montgomery, all important figures in the movement.

The curious behavior of the Pentecostal worshipers would have caused a stir if they had been black or white. But the fact that the Azusa Street Mission was in*******al made its meetings a public scandal.

The mix of blacks, whites, Hispanics, and other ethnic minorities in the melting pot of the Pentecostal fire is the stunning social achievement of the revival.

The movement’s chief chronicler in Los Angeles, Frank Bartleman, commented: “The color line has been washed away by the blood.”

Beginning 2026 with understanding the fall.

The final message for 2025.from Beeston NTCG last Sunday was "Crossing Over" taking our scripture from Malachi 3:1-6 (The final book of the old Testament) and Matthew 5: 1-13 (The first book of the New Testament).

In Malachi despite being returned from exile God's people still suffered from a sense of disillusionment with regards to God's work, they weren't committed fully to God's programme and it was manifested in their giving of tithes and offerings as Malachi points out.

In the intervening 490 years between the testaments the Greeks conquered the Persians and sought to impose Greek customs upon God's people which resulted in the Maccabean revolt and for the first time again an independent Israel...
..that was until Rome came knocking on the door.

Jesus stepped into a land looking for a way to reclaim it's position as the head of the nations yet in His first public speech Jesus outlines not the importance of reclaiming national independence and getting Gods plan back on track but of the dangers of losing what it is that truly makes us God's people. Matthew 5 and verse 13 says:

Matthew 5:13 KJV
[13] Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

What is it that constitutes out saltiness?

Humility, Mournfulness, Meekness, Mercy, Purity of Heart, being peacemakers and being persecuted for doing that which God requires of us.

These attributes described in the preceding verses acknowledge the difficult reality that we face as believers but they also insist that we do not let go of the hope and faithful trust we have in God to bring about the redemption of the world. All the attributes of God's people Jesus describes are the result of faith. Without faith it is impossible to please God.

How shall we approach 2026? With hope knowing that ultimately God will have his way. Even if it isn't in our lifetime and even if the world seems to be getting darker by the day, our lamps will be trimmed and burning bright, we continue in humility and meekness to live out the victory of Calvary and to share the transformational gospel of Jesus Christ. The Hope of nations and the light of the world.

Have a blessed 2026
