What if the very pressure you feel as a parent, a spouse, or simply a person trying to keep it all together is actually the moment God is waiting to show up? In Acts 2, Matt Merold walks us through Peter's first sermon after the resurrection—a thunderclap announcement that God's Holy Spirit would be poured out not on a select few kings and priests, but on all people: sons and daughters, young men, old men, servants and leaders alike. Matt Merold's insight is striking: the Spirit isn't rationed out in percentages or switched on and off—it's a relentless waterfall, poured out generously on everyone who comes to Christ. That means Bill Anderson welcoming the broken at Celebrate Recovery, Max Burkhart braving rain and snow in the parking lot, and Margie Bradley loving little ones to the feet of Jesus—*that's* Acts 2 happening right now at Bethany Christian Church. And there's still an empty chair. Look at it. Someone you love belongs in that seat—a drifted daughter, a resistant coworker, a father who wouldn't come today. God's promise reaches even them. So repent, be baptized, and let His Spirit empower you to fill every empty chair. 00:00 - Pre-sermon 00:00 - A Dad's Day Out 02:14 - Celebrating Father's Day with 03:39 - Dad Guilt 06:41 - Peter's Spirit Pour Out in Acts 2 13:35 - Peter's Words on Pentecost 14:33 - Everyone Deserves a Seat at the Table 20:54 - Ministry of the Church 28:25 - Peter on the Promises for the Far Off 35:37 - God's Spirit in your life 37:13 - Psalm 107 38:56 - Post-sermon Bethany Christian Church is a multi-campus church in Southern Indiana with locations in Washington, Vincennes, and Princeton.
