I love what Peter says in Acts 3:19-20 in the midst of his sermon. He encourages the crowd to repent of their sins, and turn to God so that their sins may be wiped away, and then he says that we should eagerly do this so that times of refreshment will come from the presence of the Lord. What a great promise as we come to Jesus for help in our sins. Maybe your sin has gotten the best of you this week. Peter’s words invite us not to run from Jesus when we sin, but rather to run to Jesus and be forgiven as we repent and so we can then enjoy the presence of the Lord. He wants us to be with him and has made a way in Jesus.
From Series: “2025 – Acts – To the Ends of the Earth“
The book of Acts is the continuing story by Luke of what Jesus has done and is now doing from heaven by his Spirit in the lives of his followers to advance the Kingdom of God on the earth through the Gospel. In this first part of our study of Acts, we will consider the Gospel, the coming of the Spirit, and the birth and growth of the church up through the conversion of Saul in Acts 9. Join us as we hear and look to live out Jesus’ invitation in Acts 1:8, to everyone that would claim the name of Christ, to be Spirit empowered witnesses to the ends of the earth.
