Title: The Promise
Speaker: Pastor Phillip Rowley
Date: 28th June 2026
Location: Bunbury, Australia

Summary:

"The promise is unto you, to your children, and to all that are afar off." That single line ties together a thread that runs from Moses to the earliest followers of Jesus, and this episode follows it all the way through.

The episode traces one specific promise God made to his people, the promise of the Holy Spirit, right through the Old and New Testaments. Starting with Jesus telling his followers to wait in Jerusalem for "the promise of the father," the episode goes back through Deuteronomy, Isaiah and Jeremiah to show this wasn't a new idea. It had been building for over a thousand years, hinted at through the prophets long before Jesus was born.

From there it moves through the birth of Jesus, his own reading of Isaiah in the synagogue, and finally to the day of Pentecost when the promise was poured out and people were filled with the Holy Spirit. The episode ties this history to something personal: how ordinary people today can be part of the same promise through repentance, faith and a life led by the Spirit rather than by willpower alone.

Key Points:
The promise of the Holy Spirit was foretold by prophets like Moses, Isaiah and Jeremiah, long before Jesus arrived.
Jesus connected his own ministry directly to these Old Testament promises, showing they were being fulfilled in real time.
The day of Pentecost marks the moment the promise was poured out, and the same promise is available to anyone today through repentance and faith.

"The promise is unto you, to your children, and to all that are afar off." This episode traces one promise God made to his people, the gift of the Holy Spirit, from Moses and the prophets all the way to the day of Pentecost. Along the way it shows how Jesus connected his own life and ministry to these ancient words, and how that same promise still applies to anyone willing to repent, believe and live by the Spirit rather than by their own strength. A hopeful look at how old words became a living reality.
