Proclaiming the Truth | Acts 2:14-21

Proclaiming the Truth | Acts 2:14-21On this Pentecost Sunday, we look at how Peter -- once the disciple who denied Jesus three times -- was transformed by an encounter with the risen Christ and emboldened by the Holy Spirit to stand before the crowd and proclaim the good news.KEY POINTS:* Peter encountered the risen Christ, was restored by Jesus, and witnessed His ascension.* When the Holy Spirit arrived at Pentecost, Peter stood and addressed the crowd.* Peter declared that the One they crucified is the Messiah, and the people were cut to the heart.* When they cried out "What shall we do?" Peter called them to repent, be baptized, and receive the Holy Spirit.SCRIPTURE: Acts 2:14-21Pastor Matt reminds us that the Holy Spirit gives us both "the power to do and the power to don't," and challenges us to tell the next generation -- because Christianity is only ever one generation from being forgotten.From First Methodist Church WetumpkaVisit wetumpkafirst.com to connect with us!#Sermon #Methodist #Faith #Pentecost #HolySpirit #Gospel
