Thought Questions

Compare Peter’s sermon here with his first one in the previous chapter. What are some similar points that he made? What are the differences?
Think about the points Peter made and the way he presented them that are common to both his sermons, and how we can apply them when preaching or speaking to others about Jesus.
In both situations, what had happened immediately before to get the people’s attention? Even if we don’t have a miraculous occurrence to help us, how can we use the testimony of God’s power to help others learn about Jesus?
So far, do you see a pattern in how much credit Peter and the apostles took for these miracles, and how much they gave to Jesus? Did they do anything to try to attract attention to themselves? How does that help you figure out the authenticity of “healers” in our time?
What did Peter tell the people that they needed to do in both sermons (2:38 and 3:19)? Is this important? What did he say would be the result? Can we receive the Holy Spirit without repentance and conversion?
What is conversion? See verse 26. Can we go on enjoying our sins again after being converted? How do we avoid them?

My prayer is:
to seek to find ways of presenting the living Christ to others in a convincing way which only focuses on Him;
to give God only all the credit for the miracles, large and small, that occur in my life and that I see in other places;
to fully seek repentance from my sins and conversion, being willing to fully turn away from them to seek Christ instead.
