Pentecost 2008Acts 2: 14 - 24
1. Peter had been an unstable leader of the disciples. Now he is confident and preaches the sermon that sets Christianity in motion.
2. His sermon uses scripture to show that Jesus is the Christ. He doesn't tell cute stories, he explains hat the Bible shows that salvation is available to everyone. Joel 2:32, Romans 10:13
3. This sermon and every sermon should remind us that Jesus died and rose from the dead.
4. Peter explains that God's Spirit is available to everyone; men and women, Jew and Gentile, slave or free.
5. Mothers, the best gift you can give your children is to love God with all of your heart, soul and mind.
6. We do not have to believe in God without seeing a miracle. (I believe the Bible itself is a miracle and so is all of creation. Paul alludes to this in Romans 1:19. Einstein says we can look at life one of two ways: that nothing is a miracle or that everything is...)
