Why do we celebrate Pentecost this year on June 12? What is the meaning of “Pentecost”? Why is it also called “Feast of Weeks” and “Feast of Firstfruits”? In light of Leviticus 23, when did the priest wave the sheaf of the firstfruits, and when did he wave the two loaves of leavened bread, which were also called firstfruits? What was the symbolic meaning of the sheaf and the two breads? Is Jesus the first who was resurrected from death to eternal life? Are there only few people today who are being called into the truth? Are they called firstfruits? Do they have to be predestined by God to be called in this day and age? In light of God’s Spirit of power, is there a guarantee that called Christians will inherit salvation?

Why Do We Keep Pentecost?
Size: 12.8 mb | Length: 36 minutes (Part 2)
Why is it impossible for man to keep the law of God? Why are we told that we are all sinners, and that there is no one who is righteous and seeks after God? Is there no hope for us? Or is there a way to live a life which is pleasing to God? Why did God give the Holy Spirit to His Church on the Day of Pentecost? Can this lead to a fundamental change within the carnal and natural man who is sold under sin? And if so, how exactly can and must this change occur?
