In today’s message, Pastor Tom is diving into the sermon Peter gave at Pentecost. In this sermon, Peter spoke about the resurrection of Jesus Christ that was foretold by the prophets hundreds of years before. But today, we are going to see that the most impactful, vital truth about the Resurrection is that it was featured in prophesy, but that it happened! Jesus was raised from the dead, and because of that, everything changed for you and me. Because Jesus was raised, you too will be raised to new life.

Do you think of your life in terms of chapters or seasons? You might be in the summer of your life, or the middle chapters, or you might be coming close to the end of the book, living our your winter years. You’re looking at the final chapter, or the end of the year. But in today’s message, Pastor Tom has a totally different idea for you. Death isn’t the last chapter of your story. In fact, a whole new story begins when this life ends. You may die in the winter of your life, but the next spring will be brand new.

Jesus didn’t just die. If he died like everyone else, there would be no story to tell. There would be no difference between Jesus and everyone who had come before him. No, he didn’t just die. Jesus died and rose again from the grave. Death could not keep him, and today, Pastor Tom is going to show you why the bodily, historic, testified, and confirmed resurrection of Jesus proves once and for all that He is the Messiah. He is the Eternal Son of God. The resurrection of Jesus changes everything.

When Peter spoke to the Jews at Pentecost, and convinced them that Jesus is the Christ, he then showed them how the crucifixion of Jesus was a part of God’s plan for the Messiah since the beginning. Jesus cooperated with God’s plan and laid down his life willingly. In today’s message, Pastor Tom is going to dive into God’s plan of salvation, but he’s also going to ask you this question, “Are you willing to submit yourself to God’s plan for your life? Even when it gets uncomfortable?”

When it comes to the miracles of Jesus, there isn’t any question that they happened. Even the people who called for his crucifixion acknowledged his miracles. In today’s message, Pastor Tom is going to show how Peter used the life of Christ to show that Jesus was the one and only Messiah who they’d been waiting for. He spoke with boldness that came from the Spirit of God, and because of his words, many people came to believe. You have the same story to tell, so share it boldly.

It’s really not hard to share the message of the Gospel. You already know all the key elements. Just follow the example that you are going to see today in the book of Acts. Peter stood up in front of the Jews, and told them about Jesus. Jesus lived and performed many miracles. He was crucified, died, and was buried. He rose again and ascended into Heaven, and one day He will return for everyone who will surrender to Him. In today’s message, Pastor Tom is going to lay out the Gospel for you.

God’s Word is always true, and what He says will happen, will happen. In today’s message, Pastor Tom is taking a close look at Peter’s message and the day of Pentecost, that launched the birth of the Church. In it, Peter showed the people the words of the prophet, Joel, and how they were being fulfilled right there in front of them. The Spirit of God was being poured out on the people of God. Don’t you love how God’s promises are promises you can trust? Come along and let’s hear about God’s faithfulness.

Hebrews 4:12 says, “For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.” In today’s message, Pastor Tom is going to remind you that it’s God’s Word that imparts life. It’s God’s Word that draws you along the path of righteousness. It’s God’s Word that will convict others and draw them to repentance. Let’s dive into God’s Word together today.

There is nothing in the world like hearing from God. Have you ever felt that feeling when you’re reading Scripture, and your soul is awakened and refreshed? That’s the Spirit of God speaking to your spirit. In today’s message, Pastor Tom is going to talk about sharing the Word of God with other people. What is it that others really need to hear from God? How can you be effective when you share the Gospel with the people around you? Find answers to these questions and more as you listen today.

If a brand new mall opened up in town with all the latest and greatest features, wouldn’t it be quite the event? It would be a big ordeal. There would be a grand opening, a fun celebration, ribbon cutting and all! Pastor Tom teaches us in today’s message about the grand opening, if you will, of the Church. During the Feast of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit came upon His Church and gifted them with the gift of tongues, declaring the wonderful works of God. Would that have gotten your attention?
