The Three Waves of Pentecostalism

Summary

This sermon traces the historical waves of Pentecostalism, from its origins seeking the early church's miraculous gifts, through internal theological challenges like the Oneness doctrine, to the more accommodating Charismatic movement, and finally to the third wave emphasizing health, wealth, and apostolic and prophetic restoration. The takeaway is a consideration of how the Holy Spirit's perceived presence and the interpretation of its gifts have evolved, sometimes controversially, within the movement.
