Acts 2:1–4 NIV84
1 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.

2. The Holy Spirit’s Power comes in Unity

Psalm 133 NIV84
A song of ascents. Of David. 1 How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity! 2 It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron’s beard, down upon the collar of his robes. 3 It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the Lord bestows his blessing, even life forevermore.
The Holy Spirit came on all those who were in One place
The Holy Spirit works through unity
There is a difference between unity and uniformity
We can disagree and still be in unity
We can disagree and still serve in the same place
God wants us in One place

Get away from leeches that suck the life out of you
