Liturgical Lager | A Comedic Bible Devotional on Acts 2 and the Holy Spirit

Acts 2:13 through 17 describes the moment at Pentecost when the Holy Spirit fell and some accused the disciples of being drunk. People have been confusing spiritual fire with happy hour energy since the first century.

Churches today know the power of caffeine. That is why we have mocha ministries and latte liturgies and baristas who lay hands on you with steamed milk. But imagine if your church swapped the warm brew for something a little colder. You might suddenly see deacons raising their hands, elders swaying, and visitors asking if communion comes with a chaser.

There is nothing wrong with a church that smells like grace and medium roast. But real transformation comes from the

Spirit, not the espresso machine. One wakes you up. The other wakes your soul.

So yes, a bar might get more hands in the air. But only the Spirit can keep them there when the music stops.

Questions for the Week and Strong:

1. Does my worship wake up because of the Spirit or because of the caffeine?

2. If the Holy Spirit moved in my life this week, would I notice or assume it was a strong latte?

3. What would my worship look like if my heart was awake even before my coffee was?

Prayer for the caffeinated:

Lord, wake up my spirit in a way no amount of caffeine can. Teach me to lift my hands because You moved, not because the coffee did. Help me arrive to worship more awake inside than outside. Amen.
