Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before (Acts 3:19-20) As he did in his first sermon (Acts 2:38), Peter called upon his hearers to…
In Jesu Namen Und auf den Glauben an seinen Namen hin hat sein Name diesen hier stark gemacht, den ihr seht und kennt; ja, der durch Ihn [gewirkte] Glaube hat ihm diese volle Gesundheit gegeben vor euch allen. (Apostelgeschichte 3,16) Als Petrus der aufgeregten Menge predigte, merkte er, dass er ihnen erklären musste, wie der…
Was the American Revolution Justified? From Dawson, through Facebook… Was the American Revolution justified? It seems Romans 13 clearly doesn’t support the founding fathers’ motives, though some were religious. The Declaration of Independence says, “But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under…
And His name, through faith in His name, has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all. (Acts 3:16) As Peter preached to the excited crowd, he felt that he had to explain to them…
Der Fürst des Lebens Ihr habt den Heiligen und Gerechten verleugnet und verlangt, daß euch ein Mörder geschenkt werde; den Fürsten des Lebens aber habt ihr getötet! Ihn hat Gott aus den Toten auferweckt; dafür sind wir Zeugen. (Apostelgeschichte 3,14-15) In diesen zwei Versen aus Petrus Predigt zu der aufgeregten Menschenmenge im Tempelhof sehen wir…
Did 1948 Begin the Last Generation? From a comment on a YouTube video: David I have a question: I recently heard a Pastor make the assertion that Jesus himself said (no scripture quoted) that the generation that sees Israel become a nation again (in 1948) will not die out before all end time events have…
Dear Pastor, Preacher, or Bible Teacher – Happy Monday to you! I pray that today you can re-charge a bit after a weekend spent serving God, His people, and a needy world. Peter’s sermon on the Temple Mount in Acts 3 gives a few thoughts this week: But you denied the Holy One and the…
But you denied the Holy One and the Just, and asked for a murderer to be granted to you, and killed the Prince of life, whom God raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses. (Acts 3:14-15) We see many remarkable things in these two verses from Peter’s sermon to the excited crowd at…
Seinen Knecht Jesus Der Gott Abrahams und Isaaks und Jakobs, der Gott unserer Väter, hat seinen Knecht Jesus verherrlicht; ihn habt ihr ausgeliefert und habt ihn verleugnet vor Pilatus, als dieser ihn freisprechen wollte. (Apostelgeschichte 3,13) Als Petrus anfing der aufgeregten Menschenmenge zu predigen, verknüpfte er zwei Gedanken miteinander. Zuerst sprach er von dem Gott…
Besser als ein Zeugnis Da sich aber der geheilte Lahme zu Petrus und Johannes hielt, lief alles Volk voll Erstaunen bei ihnen zusammen in der sogenannten Halle Salomos. Als Petrus das sah, wandte er sich an das Volk: Ihr Männer von Israel, weshalb verwundert ihr euch darüber, oder weshalb blickt ihr auf uns, als hätten…
The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified His Servant Jesus, whom you delivered up and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let Him go. (Acts 3:13) As Peter preached to the excited crowd, He began by connecting two thoughts. First, he spoke of the…
USA: Israel or Babylon? Why is the assumption that America is like Judah in this text in regards to current parallel reflections? Why is it not an assumption that America is more like Babylon?
