God sent the wind and the fire and gave the disciples the ability to speak in different languages. He did this so all the people would know that God had decided it was time to start the church.
Peter wanted everyone to know that the man they knew as Jesus was the Son of God. People who belong to God's church believe that Jesus is God's Son.
What makes the church special? What special thing about Jesus do people in the church believe?
The Holy Spirit comes at Pentecost. Peter speaks to the crowd (Peter's Sermon).
As one child reads the Bible, let other children act out the Scriptures/Words from the Bible:
The Wind Blew.
Fire fell.
The crowd listened.
Peter spoke.
"You crucified Jesus."
The crowd cried out.
"What do we do?"
The disciples preached.
"Come to Jesus."
3000 came.
The Church began.
Therefore, let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ. _ _ _ Acts 2:36
The apostles, filled with the Holy Ghost, and speaking divers languages languages, are admired by some, and derived by others.

Monday - The Spirit Made You a Believer - Galatians 3:1-5 - 1/30/17
The Galatian believers had become fascinated by the false teachers arguments, almost as thou they had been bewitched. Magic was common in the apostle Paul day. Magicians used both illusions & Satan's power to perform miracles.
The believers in Galatia, many of whom may have been in Jerusalem at Pentecost & received the Holy Spirit there, knew they didn't receive God's Spirit by obeying the Jewish laws. We must realize that we grow spiritually because of God's work in us, not by following special rules.
The Galatians knew they received the Holy Spirit when they believed, not when they obeyed the Law.
The Holy Spirit gives Christians great power to live for God. Some Christians want more than this.
