The Long Game in the Streets
Pentecost was the moment the long game moved into the streets. In Acts 2, frightened disciples step out from hidden rooms into public witness, not because they suddenly become fearless, but because the Spirit of God becomes more real to them than their fear. What began quietly with Jesus now becomes visible, audible, and impossible to contain as ordinary people carry the atmosphere of resurrection into an anxious world. Join Terry and the congregation at Countryside in celebrating Pentecost and the birth of the church.
Series Information
Lent through Pentecost traces the long road of Jesus toward Jerusalem — toward suffering, surrender, resurrection, and ultimately the sending of the Spirit. Again and again, the disciples misunderstand the path. They expect quick victory, visible power, and immediate clarity. Instead, Jesus keeps leading them deeper into a Kingdom that moves differently than the world expects. In this series, Terry walks us through the slower rhythms of faith — waiting instead of rushing, trusting instead of controlling, and discovering, often later than we expected, that resurrection was already moving beneath the surface. From ashes to fire, from wilderness to empty tomb, from fear to witness, The Long Game invites us to follow Jesus not merely toward Easter morning, but toward the kind of life that can only be formed over time.
