In this fifth message from our Unstoppable series through the book of Acts, Pastor Nick walks through Acts 2:14-41 — the first sermon ever preached after the Holy Spirit was poured out at Pentecost. Peter, an ordinary, untrained fisherman who had recently denied Jesus three times, stands up filled with the Holy Spirit and proclaims the gospel to a crowd of thousands. The result? 3,000 souls saved and baptized in a single day.

You'll discover why Peter keeps repeating the phrase "this Jesus" — Jesus of Nazareth, the one crucified by lawless hands, raised by God, and exalted as both Lord and Christ. Learn how Peter uses Old Testament prophecy from Joel and Psalms to make sense of the Holy Spirit's outpouring, and why his sermon cut listeners to the heart with the simple command: "Repent and be baptized."

Whether you're new to faith, church shopping, or a longtime believer who's drifted, this message will remind you that God still uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things, that the gospel is for you, your children, and all who are far off, and that this Jesus is calling you by name today.
