Hello Plano Tx! Hello to everyone who is watching online, or is in the room with us. We are glad you are taking the time to receive the Word of God. My name is Chris Fluitt and I pray that the word of God will change your life tonight.

We

are in the 2nd

week of the ALL THINGS NEW series.

All

Things New

People

are hard wired to be attracted to new. This is likely because God

our creator is really into New things.

Last week we told you –

Jesus

brings us New in Acts Chapter 2

When I say new, I am NOT saying a refresh, turning over a new leaf, or applying a new coat of paint. I am talking about a COMPLETELY NEW CREATION.

2

Corinthians 5:17 (NIV2011) Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new

creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!

Jesus

brings us NEW in Acts Chapter 2. We need to walk in the New. Here is

how just like Acts 2 shows us.

You need to hear the message of the Gospel - the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ! The believers in acts chapter heard this same message and they believed it.

Acts

2:37 (NIV2011) When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart

and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we

do?”

Belief

is awesome. We celebrate belief around here. Some people believed

for the first time last Sunday in this altar! How awesome is

that!!!???

Yet..

Jesus

has more NEW for YOU

If

you stop at belief you stop walking in the new Jesus has for you.

Jesus has more new for you, so take a step into the new.

We

are about to read verse 38 where Peter gives an answer to what they

need to do. I want you to notice that the answer to “what do we

need to do next” is not “Then Peter said… oh nothing. Believing

is enough.”

Let’s

take a look.

Acts

2:38 (NIV2011) Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of

you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins.

And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Tell

me what was the first NEW thing Peter told them to do?

Repent

– Metanoeo

Repent

means to…

* Think

differently. To Change one’s mind.

* “Turning

with contrition (sorrow for what one did) from sin to God” –

Tyndale

Repentance

is a NEW MIND, NEW DIRECTION, NEW FOCUS, NEW LORD!

Luke

15:7 (NIV2011) I tell you that in the same way there will be more

rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine

righteous persons who do not need to repent.

Acts

3:19 (NIV2011) Repent, then, and turn

to God, so

that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come

from the Lord,

Acts

8:22 (NIV2011) Repent of this wickedness and pr...
