Acts 2
Pentecost always changes people. In chapter 1 the disciples were concerned about worldly power. When they received the true power at Pentecost we never see them craving worldly power again. When you receive the real thing nothing else compares.
Look at Peter. He was boisterous and often bumbling. He made a great confession of Christ when asked "who do you say I am." Then he denied this same Lord when pushed by a slave girl. When confronted by the enemies of Christ he picked up a sword and chopped off the guard's ear.
Yet, who was it that preached the first Pentecostal message? Peter. When the true Power comes. People are changed!
