Title:

Description:

Sermon start time: 20:43. Sermon end time: 39:49.
The preacher speaks to the ecumenical nature of the gospel, arguing that Pentecost shows all nations and peoples represented and participating at the very beginning of the Church. He argues that anytime the church becomes turned in on itself, choosing to self-regard rather than other-regard, it is not the church of Pentecost. (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)
Key quotation: "More than the universality of the gospel, this Pentecost 'roll call' of the nations shows that all the nations were there when the gospel was first preached. The nations of the earth are not just the eventual destination of the gospel--they were all there at its origin."
