As we gather for worship we will continue our study in Acts and look at Peter’s Pentecost Sermon in Acts 2:14-41. This is one of the better sermon’s in the Bible that has lots to teach us. Peter responds to the crowds that accused him and the apostles of being drunk for speaking in other languages, empowered by the Spirit, with his sermon. He wants the crowds to see that the coming of the Spirit is a miracle of God and the fulfilment of what he promised hundreds of years ago by the Prophets. In response to what God has done through Christ, the people should repent and be baptized as followers of Jesus and enter the kingdom of God that has broken into the world. In like fashion, we will work through the gospel as Peter presents it and then celebrate three baptisms together as a church!
From Series: “2025 – Acts – To the Ends of the Earth Part 1“
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.
