This Sunday, Trinity Sunday, we will continue our sermon series, Acts: Stories, Scenes, & Spirit.
The text we will explore together is Acts 2:36-41, in which Peter comes on stage to deliver the story's opening monologue. Filled with the Holy Spirit, Peter, steps into Israel's prophetic tradition and begins preaching to the crowd. Peter's words give witness to Jesus Christ, the one who the people crucified and who God raised up as the Messiah and Lord of Life.
It is a sermon in which the Spirit convicts people of their sin, pardons them from their guilt, and pushes them into new life, new community, and a new direction.
