NEW WINE

Resturants don't hide the wine list, why should the church? In most resturants the first thing that they ask you is what would you like to drink? Then they attempt to go over the wine list with you. Usually they come out with a wine bottle and a couple of glasses as they approach your table. They do not attempt to hide the fact that they have wine and are selling wine. The church has been serving soft drinks and water far to long, its time to break out the good stuff.

Acts 2:14-21 That’s when Peter stood up and, backed by the other eleven, spoke out with bold urgency: “Fellow Jews, all of you who are visiting Jerusalem, listen carefully and get this story straight. These people aren’t drunk as some of you suspect. They haven’t had time to get drunk—it’s only nine o’clock in the morning. This is what the prophet Joel announced would happen: “In the Last Days,” God says, “I will pour out my Spirit on every kind of people: Your sons will prophesy, also your daughters; Your young men will see visions, your old men dream dreams. When the time comes, I’ll pour out my Spirit On those who serve me, men and women both, and they’ll prophesy. I’ll set wonders in the sky above and signs on the earth below, Blood and fire and billowing smoke, the sun turning black and the moon blood-red, Before the Day of the Lord arrives, the Day tremendous and marvelous; And whoever calls out for help to me, God, will be saved.” (MSG)
