Peter's Pentecostal Sermon
Acts 2:14-40
Dr. Gregg Hagg, a seasoned pastor and theologian, conducted a two-year sermon series on the Book of Acts, which chronicles the spread of the early Christian church after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This series was designed to provide a comprehensive and engaging overview of this pivotal time in Christian history and to help congregants gain a deeper understanding of the challenges and triumphs faced by the early church.
Over the course of the series, Dr. Hagg delved into the key themes and lessons presented in Acts, such as the importance of community, the power of the Holy Spirit, and the need for boldness in spreading the Gospel message. He drew on his extensive knowledge of the Bible and Christian history to provide insightful and thought-provoking commentary on each passage, and encouraged members of his congregation to reflect on how these lessons apply to their own lives and spiritual journeys.
On November 26, 2005, Dr. Gregg Hagg covered Acts 2:14-40 in a sermon titled "Peter's Pentecostal Sermon." This passage describes Peter's powerful sermon on the day of Pentecost, where he boldly proclaims the message of Jesus Christ to a large crowd gathered in Jerusalem. Dr. Hagg highlighted the significance of Peter's message, which called for repentance and faith in Jesus Christ as the only way to receive forgiveness of sins and the gift of the Holy Spirit. He challenged his listeners to respond to the message of the Gospel with the same urgency and conviction as those who heard Peter's message on that first Pentecost day.
