From Babel to Pentecost: Turning Outward Toward God

Jun 8, 2025 • The Rev. Charlie Holt

Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved, Peter promises in Acts 2:21, and that verse anchors this Pentecost sermon. Repentance is defined as turning away from self toward Christ, joined to baptism and the gift of the Spirit, with Augustine's city of man and city of God as the backdrop. A complaint about a Bible verse on a YMCA workout screen illustrates the tension between faith and secular settings.
