“The Torch of True Victory”
Sermon given by Pastor Robb on May 24, 2026 for Pentecost.
Continues the Surpassing Scope and Scale of Salvation sermon series.
Covers Colossians 2:6-15 and Acts 2:22-24 & 36-47.
For the disciples, Pentecost starts with still a lot of hesitancy as followers of a savior who was executed by the Empire that did not want to hear that Jesus didn’t stay dead. That feeling would make a lot of sense, but the Spirit moved to initiate a new kind of victory that couldn’t be stopped or overcome by earthly measures of power and success. Participating in this different kind of victory, as demonstrated by the countercultural way the early church started living by “dividing up the spoils” of the Spirit’s movement, is part of the legacy of salvation and atonement we are invited to, also - one initiated by our Christus Victor.
