1 聖經告訴我們教會是在五旬節誕生，在主耶穌升天后第十天。The Church was born on Pentecost Day: 10 days after Christ’s ascension.
2 今天我們一起來看上帝如何實現教會的誕生. Let’s look at how God made the first Church into existence.
- 從天上來的如大風吹過的響聲充滿了他們所坐的房屋 And suddenly a noise like a violent rushing wind came from heaven, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting (徒Acts 2:2).
- 又有舌頭如火焰顯現出來，分開落在他們個人頭上 And tongues that looked like fire appeared to them, distributing themselves, and a tongue rested on each one of them (徒Acts 2:3).
- 他們就被聖靈充滿，按著聖靈所賜的口才，說起別國的話來 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with different tongues, as the Spirit was giving them the ability to speak out. (徒Acts 2:4).
- 彼得放膽傳講耶穌 Peter preached Jesus boldly (徒Acts 2:14-36)
(i) 彼得首先引用先知約珥的預言提到主耶穌再來之前
聖靈將會成就的事 Peter pointed out that Prophet Joel’s prophecy
(徒Acts 2:14-2; 參cf. 啟Rev 6:12)
(ii) 彼得指出那撒勒人耶穌的生平，死亡，和復活 Peter pointed out the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ (徒Acts 2:22-24)
