1. Pentecost – Harvest Time!
The church was established on the day of Pentecost, which was a Jewish feast of the firstfruits of the harvest. The kingdom is like sowing seed, letting it produce, and gathering the harvest (Mark 4:26-29). If good seed is sown, and the plants have grown, the time of harvest is near! (John 4:35-38). From its beginning the church was about the great harvest of the souls of men – let us labor in that harvest!
The Day the Church was Born

2. How Do We Know When the Church was Established?
We know the time frame (Acts 2:47; Matthew 16:18)
We can calculate the year (Luke 3:23)
We can determine the month and the day (John 1:29; 1 Cor. 5:7; Leviticus 23:15-16)

3. The Significance of the Church Beginning on Pentecost
Pentecost was the feast of the early harvest (Leviticus 23:15; Exodus 34:22)
The church was established on Pentecost (Acts 2:36-41, 47; Exodus 32:27-28; Corinthians 10:6-7)
All who became Christians were first-fruits of the harvest! (James 1:18)

4. The Church is about Sowing & Reaping – Seedtime & Harvest
The kingdom is like sowing seed, letting it produce, and gathering the harvest (Mark 4:26-29)
If seed was sown, & the plants have grown, the time of harvest is near! (John 4:35-38)
Seed has been sown!
The fields are white!
The rewards of laboring in the harvest are eternal!

5. You can have a part in the harvest!
"The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.” – Luke 10:2
