Session 15: Peter Announces the King (Acts 2–5)

What this episode covers

In this session we will look at Peter’s sermons in Acts 2 and 3. The speeches in Acts are important. Luke imbeds his theology in the words of his protagonists. In Peter’s first speech, there is a Davidic emphasis; Yeshua is the promised heir to David’s throne. Luke describes the four devotions: Believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayers. What does this show us about their way of worship? Peter says a second and third speech with important Messianic elements in them. Watch a video of this session below, or use the player at the top of this page to listen to just the audio.
