Joe: Alright, so what’s happening in Acts 2?

Bible Expert: Right, so in this chapter, the Holy Spirit descends upon the apostles and they begin to speak in other languages so that everyone can understand them.

Joe: Woah, that’s crazy! What else happens?

Bible Expert: Well, the people who were gathered were amazed and perplexed. Some assumed the apostles were drunk, but Peter steps up and begins to preach a powerful sermon about Jesus.

Joe: What does he say?

Bible Expert: He quotes the prophet Joel and says that Jesus will pour out the Holy Spirit on all people and that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. He then goes on to explain the resurrection of Jesus.

Joe: Alright, so what happens next?

Bible Expert: Many of the people in the crowd believed Peter’s words and were baptized. The apostles then devoted themselves to teaching and fellowship and breaking bread together, and many miracles were performed.

Joe: Incredible. So what’s the takeaway from all this?

Bible Expert: The takeaway is that the power of the Holy Spirit can be seen in the apostles’ ability to preach the gospel in multiple languages and that the message of salvation is available to all who believe.
