Pentecost Sunday - The Day of Pentecost: Birth of the Church


Listen Later

Jackson reads Acts 2:1-47 which describes the events of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit descended upon the apostles, empowering them to speak in various languages. This miraculous event occurred during the Jewish festival of Pentecost, drawing a diverse crowd who heard the apostles speaking in their native tongues about the wonders of God. Peter addressed the crowd, explaining that this was the fulfillment of the prophecy from Joel and proclaiming the resurrection and lordship of Jesus Christ. His powerful sermon led to deep conviction, and about 3,000 people were baptized and added to the believers that day. The passage concludes with a description of the early Christian community, characterized by their devotion to the apostles' teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayer, as well as their communal living and sharing of resources.
