Acts 2:1-4
"When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance."
Additional Scripture References: Acts 17:24, John 14:17, Galatians 5:17, Galatians 5:22–23, Acts 1:8, 1 Corinthians 12:7, 1 Corinthians 6:19, John 3:8
Many of us live as if God has ghosted us, like He left without warning, and we’re still waiting for Him to reply. But Pentecost tells us a different story: Jesus didn’t ghost us. When He ascended into Heaven, He sent the Holy Ghost, not to check in occasionally, but to move in and dwell within us permanently. The Holy Spirit isn’t a hyped force, He’s the living presence and power of God inside us. He doesn’t settle for partial access, He takes over. And when God moves in, everything changes. We don’t have to beg for God’s presence. We just need to stop ghosting the One who’s already moved in.
God didn’t ghost us, He gifted us
As we invite the Spirit of God to dwell within us, the flesh must yield. His presence convicts, transforms, and renews us. He cannot co-exist with pride, ego, shame, guilt, or unforgiveness. The Holy Spirit isn’t a feeling we summon for desired outcomes. He’s not a tool, we don’t use Him. He inhabits. He leads. He reveals Jesus. God longs to fill every part of us. So today, let’s lay down what stands in His way and give Him His rightful place within.
When you give the Holy Spirit access to your heart, your entire life becomes evidence of His transforming work. The proof isn’t in just what you say—it’s in the fruit you bear. Galatians 5:22 tells us what that fruit looks like: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. These qualities mark a life led by the Spirit. It's important not to confuse the fruit of the Spirit with the gifts of the Spirit. Gifts like prophecy or speaking in tongues point others to Jesus, but they aren’t signs of spiritual maturity. Transformation is revealed in fruit. We need both gifts and fruit, but we must understand the difference and value them rightly.
When God moves in, fire breaks out. The Holy Spirit didn’t come to visit, He came to take over. He fills us with power, purpose, and presence. But He doesn’t stop at just enough. He fills us till we are overflowing. That’s the kind of life the Spirit produces in us. Not one that contains the fire, but one that carries it. Not a controlled drip, but a daily overflow of love, boldness, and transformation. You weren’t filled to feel better. You were filled to burn brighter. Let the overflow speak for itself.
Let this week be a shift from partial surrender to full access. The Holy Spirit is already present; now let him lead.
Holy Spirit, I don’t want to live like you’re distant when you dwell within me. Remind me daily that You’ve moved in. Help me become more aware of your presence in every moment. Let my life reflect that You are near.
The Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept Him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. John 14:17
Holy Spirit, grow in me what I can’t grow on my own. Cultivate love when I want to lash out. Grow patience when I feel rushed. Produce peace when my thoughts spiral. Let the fruit of Your presence transform how I respond, how I lead, and how I love.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Galatians 5:22-23
Holy Spirit, light a fire in me that doesn’t burn out. Give me boldness to speak, compassion to serve, and power to love people like Jesus. Set me apart for Your purpose and send me to be a witness. I don’t want just to be filled by you, but I want to overflow.
You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. Acts 1:8
Holy Spirit, You’re not just a guest in my life–you’re the owner. Show me what still needs to move out so You can take over. Clean out what doesn’t honor You. Fill every room of my heart. I don’t want to manage my life, I want to be led by You.
Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit? 1 Corinthians 6:19

Hechos 2:1-4
"Cuando llegó el día de Pentecostés, estaban todos juntos en el mismo lugar. 2 De repente, vino del cielo un ruido como el de una violenta ráfaga de viento y llenó toda la casa donde estaban reunidos. 3 Aparecieron entonces unas lenguas como de fuego que se repartieron y se posaron sobre cada uno de ellos. 4 Todos fueron llenos del Espíritu Santo y comenzaron a hablar en diferentes lenguas, según el Espíritu les concedía expresarse."
Referencias bíblicas adicionales: Hechos 17:24, Juan 14:17, Gálatas 5:17, Gálatas 5:22–23, Hechos 1:8, 1 Corintios 12:7, 1 Corintios 6:19, Juan 3:8
Muchos vivimos como si Dios nos hubiera “fantasmeado” (del inglés, ghosting: dejar de tratar de repente y sin explicación), como si se hubiera ido sin avisar y aún estuviéramos esperando su respuesta. Pero Pentecostés nos cuenta una historia diferente: Jesús no nos abandonó. Cuando ascendió al cielo, envió al Espíritu Santo, no para visitarnos ocasionalmente, sino para morar dentro nosotros permanentemente. El Espíritu Santo no es una fuerza a la que se hace bombo y platillo: es la presencia viva y el poder de Dios en nosotros. No se conforma con un acceso parcial, sino que toma el mando. Y cuando Dios entra a nuestro ser, todo cambia. No tenemos que rogar por la presencia de Dios. Solo necesitamos dejar de ignorar a Aquel que ya se ha mudado a vivir con nosotros.
Dios no nos “fantasmeó”; nos dio dones.
Al invitar al Espíritu de Dios a morar en nosotros, la carne debe ceder. Su presencia nos da convicción de pecado, nos transforma y nos renueva. Él no puede coexistir con el orgullo, el ego, la vergüenza, la culpa ni la falta de perdón. El Espíritu Santo no es un sentimiento que invocamos para obtener resultados deseados. No es una herramienta; no lo usamos. Él habita. Él guía. Él revela a Jesús. Dios anhela llenar cada parte de nosotros. Así que hoy, dejemos de lado lo que se interpone en su camino y démosle el lugar que le corresponde en nuestro interior.
Cuando le das acceso al Espíritu Santo a tu corazón, toda tu vida se convierte en evidencia de su obra transformadora. La prueba no está solo en lo que dices, sino en el fruto que das. Gálatas 5:22 nos dice cuál es ese fruto: amor, alegría, paz, paciencia, amabilidad, bondad, fidelidad, humildad y dominio propio. Estas cualidades caracterizan una vida guiada por el Espíritu. Es importante no confundir el fruto del Espíritu con los dones del Espíritu. Dones como la profecía o el hablar en lenguas guían a otros hacia Jesús, pero no son señales de madurez espiritual. La transformación se revela en el fruto. Necesitamos tanto los dones como el fruto, pero debemos comprender la diferencia y valorarlos corr
Cuando Dios entra, se enciende el fuego. El Espíritu Santo no vino a visitarnos, vino a tomar el mando. Nos llena de poder, propósito y presencia. Pero no se detiene en el borde. Nos llena hasta rebosar. Esa es la vida que el Espíritu produce en nosotros. No una que contenga el fuego, sino una que lo lleve consigo. No un goteo controlado, sino un desbordamiento diario de amor, valentía y transformación. No fuiste lleno para sentirte mejor. Fuiste lleno para brillar con más intensidad. Deja que el desbordamiento hable por sí solo.
Que esta semana sea un cambio de una entrega parcial a un acceso total. El Espíritu Santo ya está presente; ahora deja que lidere.
Espíritu Santo, no quiero vivir como si estuvieras distante cuando moras en mí. Recuérdame a diario que te has mudado conmigo. Ayúdame a ser más consciente de tu presencia en cada momento. Que mi vida refleje tu cercanía.
El Espíritu de verdad, a quien el mundo no puede aceptar porque no lo ve ni lo conoce. Pero ustedes sí lo conocen, porque vive con ustedes y estará[c] en ustedes. Juan 14:17
Espíritu Santo, cultiva en mí lo que no puedo hacer crecer por mi cuenta. Cultiva el amor cuando quiera explotar. Cultiva la paciencia cuando me sienta apurado. Produce paz cuando mis pensamientos se descontrolen. Permite que el fruto de tu presencia transforme mi forma de responder, de liderar y de amar.
En cambio, el fruto del Espíritu es amor, alegría, paz, paciencia, amabilidad, bondad, fidelidad, humildad y dominio propio. No hay ley que condene estas cosas. Gálatas 5:22-23
Espíritu Santo, enciende en mí un fuego inextinguible. Dame valentía para hablar, compasión para servir y poder para amar como Jesús. Apártame para tu propósito y envíame a ser testigo. No solo quiero ser lleno de ti, sino que quiero rebosar.
Pero cuando venga el Espíritu Santo sobre ustedes, recibirán poder. Hechos 1:8
Espíritu Santo, no eres solo un invitado en mi vida; eres el dueño. Muéstrame lo que aún necesita salir para que puedas tomar el control. Limpia lo que no te honra. Llena cada rincón de mi corazón. No quiero manejar mi vida, quiero ser guiado por ti.
¿Acaso no saben que su cuerpo es templo del Espíritu Santo, 1 Corintios 6:19

Atos 2:1-4
"Chegando o dia de Pentecostes, estavam todos reunidos num só lugar. De repente veio do céu um som, como de um vento muito forte, e encheu toda a casa na qual estavam assentados. E viram o que parecia línguas de fogo, que se separaram e pousaram sobre cada um deles. Todos ficaram cheios do Espírito Santo e começaram a falar noutras línguas, conforme o Espírito os capacitava."
Referências bíblicas adicionais
Atos 17:24, João 14:17, Gálatas 5:17, Gálatas 5:22–23, Atos 1:8, 1 Coríntios 12:7, 1 Coríntios 6:19, João 3:8
Muitos de nós vivemos como se Deus tivesse nos deixado no vácuo, como se Ele tivesse partido sem aviso e ainda estivéssemos esperando uma resposta. Mas o Pentecostes conta uma história diferente: Jesus não nos deixou no vácuo. Quando Ele subiu aos céus, enviou o Espírito Santo, não para aparecer de vez em quando, mas para habitar em nós permanentemente.
O Espírito Santo não é uma força exagerada; Ele é a presença e o poder vivo de Deus dentro de nós. Ele não se contenta com acesso parcial – Ele assume o controle. E quando Deus passa a nos habitar, tudo muda. Não precisamos implorar por Sua presença, ela já está aqui. O que precisamos é parar de ignorar Aquele que já decidiu habitar em nós.
Deus não nos deixou no vácuo, Ele nos presenteou com o Seu Espírito.
À medida que convidamos o Espírito de Deus a habitar plenamente em nós, nossa natureza humana precisa ceder. Sua presença convence, transforma e renova. Ele não compartilha espaço com o orgulho, o ego, a vergonha, a culpa ou a falta de perdão.
O Espírito Santo não é um sentimento que invocamos para alcançar o que queremos. Ele não é uma ferramenta a ser usada, Ele é o próprio Deus, que habita, guia e revela Jesus.
Deus deseja ocupar cada parte de nós. Por isso, hoje é o dia de remover o que ainda impede Sua ação, e dar a Ele o lugar que só Lhe pertence.
Quando você permite o acesso do Espírito Santo ao seu coração, toda a sua vida se torna evidência de Sua obra transformadora. A prova não está apenas no que você diz, está no fruto que você produz.
Gálatas 5:22 nos diz como é esse fruto: amor, alegria, paz, paciência, amabilidade, bondade, fidelidade, mansidão e domínio próprio. Essas qualidades marcam uma vida guiada pelo Espírito.
É importante não confundir os frutos do Espírito com os dons do Espírito. Dons como profecia ou falar em línguas apontam os outros para Jesus, mas não são sinais de maturidade espiritual. A transformação é revelada no fruto. Precisamos tanto dos dons quanto dos frutos, mas devemos entender a diferença e valorizá-los corretamente.
Quando Deus nos habita, o fogo se acende. O Espírito Santo não veio para visitar – Ele veio para assumir o controle. Ele nos enche com poder, propósito e presença. Mas Ele não para no "suficiente". Ele nos enche até transbordarmos.
Imagine uma garrafa d'água – ela não está cheia quando está pela metade ou na boca. Ela só está cheia quando começa a transbordar. É esse o tipo de vida que o Espírito produz em nós. Não uma vida que contém o fogo, mas uma que o carrega. Não um gotejar controlado, mas um transbordar diário de amor, ousadia e transformação.
Você não foi cheio para se sentir melhor. Você foi cheio para brilhar mais intensamente. Deixe o transbordar falar por si.
Que esta semana seja uma mudança da rendição parcial para o acesso total.
O Espírito Santo já está presente; agora permita que Ele lidere.
● Reflita: O que você tem deixado ocupar espaço no seu coração que Deus quer remover?
● Responda: Jejue de algo que tem preenchido sua alma no lugar d’Ele nesta semana.
● Reenquadre: Menos de mim. Mais d’Ele.

Contact your Crew Coach ASAP. Don't try to solve these things alone. As always, follow up with the individual. We want them toknow that they are not on this journey alone. If emergency, contact 911.
A parking option (lot, street parking, etc.), an indoor alternative if you select an outdoor space and it rains, make sure the location is a place that can accommodate a large group. Also, consider the noise level. Finally, the goal is to partner with the location that you have Crew. Go in, introduce yourself and let them you that you plan to meet at their location two times a month.
Start by giving them a little responsibility and see what they do with it. Most times, people who attend your crew are waiting for an opportunity to be involved & lead. Delegate different parts of the night and continue to give them more responsibility. Examples are: ice breaker, scripture, main idea, discussion point one and question one, discussion point two and question two, summary, call to action, prayer & praise.
We want to do our best to ensure that we aren't changing locations in the middle of the SZN, however things come up that are beyond our control. If your location closes down mid season, talk to your Crew Coach right away and work with them to find a solution for the remainder of the SZN.
We won't have answers to every question, whether life questions or Bible questions, that we're asked but what we can always do is encourage people in what they're going through. Crew Coaches are also a great resource that you should utilize when moments such as these come up.
We won't have answers to every question, whether life questions or Bible questions, that we're asked but what we can always do is encourage people in what they're going through. Crew Coaches are also a great resource that you should utilize when moments such as these come up.
If an individual is on time and consistent you can start delegating roles to them during crew and begin having conversations with them around being part of your building blocks. Don't wait for the "perfect leader" to walk into your Crew. The truth is, your Crew will flow better and be more enjoyable for everyone if multiple people are involved in leading and organizing the night. Deciding on which role is the best fit should based on their personality and leadership skills.
An overview of your night, who led which parts of the night, guest contact info -- you should always write "ADD TO ROSTER" above the peoples names who you'd like added to your roster. If out of town guests or people from attend other crews join your crew you can still add their contact info but clearly state that they won't be added to roster. Always add first and last names for prayer requests and praise reports. A SWOT at the end of your summary will be helpful for you to continue improving your Crew each week.
Prepare in advance and arrive early! If you're speaking 30% of the time and others are speaking 70% of the time you're on your way to building a healthy Crew. Delegate roles and let the Building Blocks in your Crew know in advance what role they will help with that night so they can arrive prepared. Send out your Crew invite and work with your co-leads to individually text everyone on your roster and personally invite them out. Another great way to know if you're on your way to building a healthy Crew is if you have yourBuilding Blocks in place.
Crew is all about building relationships! Get to know each other, find out their story! Invest time into them by asking hard questions. Help connect dots for them by talking about the Growth Track, water baptism, serving and Crew.
We want to consistently be raising up leaders. Before the SZN begins, it should be your goal to have all your building blocks in place. In the event that you don't, continue to search out people who can support you in a building block role. You can even work with your previous Crew Leaders to see if there's anyone who can transition with you and also ask other people who aren't leading in their current Crew. Remember, it's not the job of a Crew Coach to find your building blocks!
Yes! We want to make sure that we are honoring other Crew Leaders when doing this. If an individual is not holding a Building Block role in another Crew, work with your Crew Coach and the other person's Crew Leader in facilitating this conversation. We want to make sure the other person's Crew Leader is aware of what's going on.
Part of your role as a Crew leader is building up those around you. Allow your Building Blocks to learn and grow. Give them and other consistent leaders in your Crew opportunities to lead in multiple areas of Crew, including in leading the discussion.
In moments that the conversation gets off topic, step in and redirect the conversation back on topic.
