Your Response

Yesterday I preached from this text. Peters first sermon. A sermon that resulted in 3000 Jews turning in repentance to Christ . All the more amazing when you think that 50 days before these were the same Jews who were baying for Christ's crucifixion..

For the first time in their lives their hearts were open to the truth ..."they were cut to the heart" ...... They realised that it was their sin that held Christ to the cross .....

What about you ....Peter's message wasn't just for the crowd that gathered 2000 years ago ..it was for you .... Your sin nailed Christ to the cross . The Son of God humbled himself on a cross so that you could know forgiveness...

Do what the 3000 did ....turn to him in repentance and faith and know the eternal assurance that you have become a child of God ...... Swallow your pride and wake up to the truth about your existence .
