Sermon: Surprise Party | Week 7: The Greatest Surprise of All // Brent Levy

About this episode

Brent Levy discusses the grace of Pentecost and how the Holy Spirit resides in our imperfect lives.

In this sermon, we trade the exhaustion of trying to "bat 1,000" for the scandalous grace of Pentecost—a day when God pours out a Spirit not for the perfect, but for "all flesh." We explore how our fragile, forgetful, and silver-haired humanity is exactly where the Holy Spirit chooses to take up residence. You are invited to stop waiting until you have it all together and instead become God’s greatest surprise: the Risen Christ showing up in the middle of our beautifully broken lives.
