ReGeneration Church

Peter delivers a message that cuts the crowd to the heart, and thousands respond by repenting, being baptized, and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit. The new believers devote themselves to the apostles' teaching, to fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to prayer, while signs and wonders occur among them. They hold their possessions loosely, selling what they have to meet one another's needs, and gather together daily in the temple courts and in their homes with gladness and sincerity. The community grows steadily as the Lord adds to their number day by day those who are being saved. Where have you drawn the line between your private faith and your shared community life?

As the crowd questions what they are witnessing, Peter stands and addresses them, explaining that the outpouring of the Spirit fulfills Joel's prophecy that God would pour out His Spirit on all flesh. He draws on Psalms 16 and 110 to argue that David anticipated both the resurrection and exaltation of Jesus, grounding his message in the Hebrew Scriptures. The Spirit's empowerment is evident not only in Peter's boldness but in his ability to interpret and apply Scripture in a coherent, persuasive way. He concludes with a direct declaration: God has made Jesus, the one they crucified, both Lord and Messiah. How do you discern whether boldness in your speech is coming from the Spirit, or from yourself?
