The Holy Spirit came down one day
The Apostles were filled with dismay

And the crowd was filled with awe and dismay.

One practical way to respond to the teaching of the Bible passage in Acts 2.1-21 is to apply the passage to our own lives. In this passage, the Holy Spirit descends on the disciples and they are filled with the ability to speak in different languages, allowing them to preach the gospel to all people. This shows us that God desires us to share His message of love and redemption with the world around us. We can do this practically by sharing God’s love and truth with those we encounter in our daily lives. We can also use our spiritual gifts to serve in our community, our church, and beyond. Whether it is through prayer, words of encouragement, or tangible service, we can use the abilities God has given us to spread His love and truth. By doing this, we can truly live out the message of Acts 2.1-21.
