Acts 2:5 - 2:39

ActsSteve Gregg
In this insightful message, Steve Gregg explores the book of Acts and its relevance to the church's existence over the past two millennia. He delves into the pouring of the Holy Spirit upon the early believers, the gift of tongues, and the significance of Peter's sermon. Drawing from Old Testament prophecies, Gregg emphasizes Jesus' resurrection and exaltation as the key claim of the Christian faith. He distinguishes the God-centered nature of biblical evangelism from a man-centered approach, highlighting repentance and baptism as essential aspects of committing to Jesus as Lord.
