The Big Story | Acts - Peter Tells the Story

The crowd at Pentecost is confused and divided — some are amazed, some think the disciples are drunk. Then Peter stands up and does something remarkable: he weaves together Joel, the Psalms, and the life of Jesus to show that everything the Scriptures promised has just been fulfilled. In this episode, Lisa walks through Peter's sermon in Acts 2:14–41 — one of the most important theological declarations in the New Testament — and explores what it means for us to share the same story today.Scripture: Acts 2:14–41Key Themes:Peter's use of Joel 2 and Psalms 16 and 110 to explain PentecostThe argument that Jesus is both Lord and MessiahThe crowd's response: "What shall we do?" — and Peter's gospel invitationThe promise extending to "all who are far off" — the Abrahamic blessing going to the nations3,000 respond and the church is bornReflection Questions:Peter connected his message to what his listeners already knew and were experiencing.
