1. Acts 2
“God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of it” (Acts 2:32)

2. The Setting Jerusalem, at Pentecost The Holy Spirit comes
The sound like the blowing of a violent wind
Something like tongues of fire, separating then resting on each of them
All of them began to speak in other tongues
A crowd gathers because of the sound

3. The Sermon Three texts Joel 2: 28-32 Psalm 16: 8-11 Psalm 110:1
“In those days” becomes “In the last days”
The coming of the Spirit marks this as God’s work
Psalm 16: 8-11
Explains the “Christ event,” especially the resurrection
The interplay of human sin and God’s purpose
Psalm 110:1
The Lord is now exalted!
“God has made Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.”

4. The Response “What shall we do?”
Repent and be baptized
Receive forgiveness of sins and the gift of the Holy Spirit
Some 3000 were added the disciple’s number
The new community devoted themselves
To the apostles’ teaching
To the fellowship (koinenia)
To the breaking of bread
To prayer
