Peter Gets Fired (Pentecost, Acts 2)


Listen Later

Pastor Josh reads Acts 2, describing Pentecost’s wind, fire, and tongues that let Jews from many nations hear “the mighty works of God,” before Peter stands to preach. He tells Gypsy Smith’s chalk-circle charge to pray for revival starting within one’s own heart, then traces Peter’s arc: Jesus’ warning in Luke 22, Peter’s three denials and bitter weeping, and his restoration in John 21 by a charcoal fire where the risen Jesus asks three times, “Do you love me?” and commissions him to feed the sheep. He explains the disciples’ waiting as tied to Jesus’ ascension and enthronement, making Pentecost a cosmic regime change and Babel “baptized” into multilingual inclusion. He points to Stephen as a picture of being filled with the Spirit, and ends with the right order: Christ’s initiating love, received before it overflows into power and witness.
