MAKING SPIRIT SPACE SERMON SERIES<br />
Today’s scripture: Acts 2:1-21<br />
The disciples are gathered in the Upper Room – very possibly the same room where<br />
Jesus had gathered with the 12 for Passover the night he was arrested. They are there<br />
because Jesus a week earlier had told them to stay in the city until the gift he promised<br />
was given – the Holy Spirit. First, the disciples had to make room for this gift in their<br />
thinking <strong>and</strong> in their own spiritual journey, even though they did not fully underst<strong>and</strong><br />
what that would mean. Then when the gift came, they had to make room for that experience<br />
to be what Jesus had promised. Then Peter had to make room for the Spirit<br />
to empower his proclamation. What’s likely here is that they were doing what they<br />
normally did when they were together in places like this: praying (1:14). So they were<br />
engaging in a spiritual practice that cultivated space for something of a deeper spiritual<br />
nature to happen in them, among them, <strong>and</strong> then through them. The Spirit goes<br />
where he is wanted. The Spirit responds to people who are cultivating space – making<br />
room – for him to engage their lives.<br />
