Bezalel: Spirit-Filled Craftsmanship in Exodus 31
Exodus 31:1–11 presents the skills of making things as gifts God gives and callings God assigns, not merely private talents or secular trades. Bezalel, Oholiab, and every wise-hearted worker build the tabernacle as a cooperative act of obedience.
Acts 2:1–4: What Pentecost Means
Acts 2:1–4 describes God acting on the day of Pentecost: a sound from the sky, fire-like tongues resting on each person, and the whole gathered company filled with the Spirit and speaking in other languages. A Pentecostal Christian, at root, is someone who takes that outpouring seriously and expects the Spirit to be active in the church today.
