Birth of a Nation

What does it take to go from slavery to freedom? God delivered ancient Israel from Egypt by a series of ten plagues plus other miracles, but did that make them a nation? I make the argument that it took more to give birth to the nation of Israel - it took the Ten Commandments and laws and statutes as well. I also examine parallels with the birth of the church in the New Testament because both of these births took place on Pentecost. The transcript is available at the "Downloads" link.
