Acts Lesson 6: The First Church Sermon {Peter’s New Sword}
This lesson (from Acts 2:14-36) is our look at the first sermon of the Church Age! It was preached by Peter, who (amazingly) only 53 days earlier had committed the greatest denial of the Lord Jesus in history (it was the greatest because it was committed by a believer - and one who had the fantastic spiritual privilege of being the leader of the Lord's Apostles). When we hear what "foot-in-mouth," impetuous Peter preached - now that he had been fully and gracious restored to his position in the Apostolate by the resurrected Lord Himself (John 21:15-19 - see our podcast Lesson # from the Life of Christ study), we realize the answer to Christ's prayers for Peter (who Satan had desired to sift as wheat). Peter's Spirit-filled, Spirit-led message was entirely Christ-centered, which is what all preaching should be! It was also very practical, which all preaching should be! His sermon is filled with application (what to do with the Truth one learns about Christ). Learn what Peter meant when he quoted from the Prophet Joel in his sermon! Learn what the terms "day of the Lord" and "prophesy" in his sermon refer to. Learn, too, about the tremendous fruit from this very first Church sermon in the lesson to follow, Lesson 7, "Early Church Growth".
