Pentecost

Introduction:

Three feast days were of prime importance to the Israelites:  The Feast of Unleavened Bread (Passover), which celebrated their deliverance from Egypt, The Feast of Harvests, the first fruits of their labors sown in the fields, and The Feast of Ingathering when they harvested the fruit of their labors in the fields.

Today, the Christian Church still celebrates this third feast, which we call Pentecost.  Pentecost means fifty (fifty days after Passover), and it commemorates the birth of the Christian Church.

Many centuries ago the prophet, Joel, prophesied of a time in the future when God would pour out His Spirit.
