The Day The Church Was Born

Sep 3, 2023    Mike Osthimer

In Acts chapter 2 we read the story of the birth of the church… Births are amazing things. I can recall so vividly the birth of our firstborn. We had a girl and we named her Bree. Actually, my wife named her Bree and just made me think I had a say in it but that's another bible study altogether. I will never forget when she was born. When she came out she had her hand above her head and the doctor said, “You have a daughter, and look, she’s already praising Jesus!” When I saw her for the very first time I thought how can anyone witness the birth of a baby and not believe in God. It’s a miracle. 


Births are miraculous that's for sure. How many have ever used “Ancestry.com” to go back and look at your family's origin? What “Ancestry.com” is to your family history the book of Acts chapter 2 is to the birth of the church. The birth of the church was a planned pregnancy, conceived in the heart of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit and born into this world on the day of Pentecost.
