Repent and Return
Acts 3:13-26
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 January 7, 2006, Dr. Gregg Hagg covered Acts 3:13-26 in a sermon titled "Repent and Return." This passage recounts the healing of a beggar by Peter and John and Peter's subsequent sermon calling on the people to repent and turn back to God. Dr. Hagg emphasized the importance of recognizing our need for repentance and the transformative power of returning to God through faith in Jesus Christ. He challenged his congregation to examine their own lives and turn away from sin and toward the Lord, experiencing the forgiveness and new life that only He can offer.
