Peter Preaches the Gospel

June 29, 2025

In this powerful launch to our new series, Unstoppable, we explore how a group of fearful disciples became apostles—and what that means for us today.

This message continues the journey from our EASTER+40 series by diving into Acts 2, where Peter preaches the first Christian sermon. Far from being a fresh innovation, Peter roots the gospel in Old Testament prophecy, citing Joel and David to prove the resurrection of Jesus is God's eternal plan. We revisit the transformation of the disciples—once self-serving, confused, and fearful—into bold apostles willing to die for their faith. What changed? They were confronted by their sin, convinced of the resurrection, and empowered by the Holy Spirit.

Pastor Jim challenges us to remember that salvation involves all three: conviction, redemption, and transformation. We're not just witnesses to a message—we're witnesses to a resurrected Jesus who still moves powerfully through the Holy Spirit today. This isn’t just history—it’s your invitation to live differently.
