Ac 2

This is the most talked about least understood chapter in the whole Bible!  I have heard more heretical sermons based on this chapter than any other by far.

The reason is simple.  There is a great mystery in Pentecost.  The Holy Spirit descended on the disciples in a powerful way and the impact on everyone's lives was unprecedented.  That critical day transformed the disciples....and history.

Peter's sermon was simple: Jesus is who He said He was. He has overcome death.  Repent and believe in Jesus! And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

  1. Agreed. Peter's message is not difficult to follow. The answer to the question, "What is the point of Pentecost?" is answered by Peter himself in his sermon: Jesus Christ crucified for our sins and the announcement thereof.
