Big Idea
The risen Jesus meets fearful disciples with peace, forgiveness, and the Holy Spirit. Pentecost is not hype. It is Jesus giving His Church what it needs to live and to be sent.
Law: We hide behind locked doors. We are ruled by fear and doubt, and we assume our failures define us.
Gospel: Jesus comes through barriers. He speaks peace, gives forgiveness, and breathes His Spirit. Faith is created and strengthened by His Word.
