The Hope for All
Feb 2, 2025 • Devon Accardi
This Sunday, Gospel Sunday, Devon Accardi continues our series on the Book of Acts. Acts 2:14-41 focus on Peter's sermon at Pentecost. Peter, empowered by the Holy Spirit, boldly preaches to the crowd, explaining that Jesus’ death and resurrection fulfill Old Testament prophecy. He connects the moment to the prophecy of Joel, showing that God’s Spirit is now poured out on all people, and calls the listeners to repentance and baptism. The passage culminates with 3,000 people believing and being added to the church, marking the explosive beginning of the gospel’s spread. This same gospel message has continued unbroken for 2,000 years, calling believers to share it with those around them, just as Peter did in Acts.
