Acts 2

Jesus had promised the Holy Spirit many times. Now He arrives and sends the church on mission to start its journey through the earth. Fifty days after Passover is Pentecost, which is a celebration of the grain harvest in the land around Israel. God sends Himself in Spirit form on the celebration of the grain harvest!

The Spirit arrives and many hear its arrival. The disciples start speaking and many people from many lands hear them in their own language. Some believe they are drunk.

Peter then steps up, likely on the steps of the temple, and begins to share the Gospel. He defends their lack of alcohol influence and then shares through parts of the Old Testament what Jesus means and calls people to believe. They do! The church starts and on the first day, 3000 people jump on board.

Then the church is described by what they are doing. They are devoted to learning and fellowship, eating together and praying. God does many wonders in their midst adn they selling things to share what they have and worship Him! Many more started joining the church day after day.
