The Day of Pentecost | Scripture Story Sketch Notes | Printable PDF

A hand-drawn, doodle-style study of the Ascension and the day of Pentecost, when the Holy Ghost came upon the Apostles, built around the words: “And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost” (Acts 2:4).

Follow a numbered map through the story, then look closer at the details. Context, Greek words and the words of prophets help, while the focus stays on the Savior.

What's Inside

• Cover with a numbered map and a contents list
• The story in brief: a short retelling, who’s who, where and when, and what to watch for
• The story, plainly: four scenes, “Look to Him” notes, the hard King James words explained, and a draw-and-write page
• Look closer: nine cards on the cloud, the upper room, the harvest feast, the rushing wind, the tongues like as of fire, many languages, the pricked heart, baptism and the breaking of bread
• Where are you today? Still waiting; afraid to speak up; feeling a nudge to change; ready to belong, with check-ins
• What shall we do?: read Acts 2:37–42. Fill in Peter’s answer and what the people did, then write your own next step.
• Their world, their words: a harvest feast; fifty days; waiting, as instructed; the gift of tongues; and two Greek words
• Look to Him: what prophets have taught, with more scriptures to read
• Seek Him today: a question to ask yourself, a seven-day tracker, talk-about questions and verses to hold
• Go deeper: summaries and links for adult and deeper study
• Sources: every quotation and gloss cited with links (scripture first, then Church sources, then labeled outside sources)

Perfect For

• Personal and family Come, Follow Me study of Acts 1–2, lessons on the Holy Ghost, baptism and the early Church, and youth or Primary classes any year
