Reversing Babel on Pentecost Sunday
June 8, 2025 Preacher: Dr Gary Cass Series: Ascension & Pentecost
Scripture: Acts 2:1–13, Genesis 11:1–9
This sermon explores the powerful connection between Acts 2:1–13 and Genesis 11:1–9, revealing how Pentecost reverses the curse of Babel and inaugurates the global mission of the Church. On Pentecost Sunday, we celebrate the outpouring of the Holy Spirit—the fulfillment of Joel’s prophecy, the proof of Christ’s exaltation, and the divine sign that the Kingdom of God has come in power.
Key themes include:
-
The contrast between Babel’s confusion and Pentecost’s clarity
-
The unifying work of the Holy Spirit in reversing the scattering of nations
-
The gospel proclaimed in every language as a sign of God’s redemptive purpose
-
The continuing relevance of Spirit-filled boldness, revival, and witness in the Church today
Featuring rich biblical insights from Jonathan Edwards, B.B. Warfield, and John Owen, this teaching unpacks the eternal significance of Pentecost in redemptive history and calls believers to live under the power of the Spirit, proclaiming the name of Jesus Christ to all nations.
