Sermon Title: Point to Jesus
Series: Acts: The Church on the Move
Text: Acts 2:14–41
Date: September 14, 2025
Acts 2:14–15 – Peter corrects the false accusation that the disciples were drunk.
Evangelism is often uncomfortable because it involves truth: sin, judgment, and exclusivity of Christ.
Key Scriptures:
Romans 3:23; Romans 6:23a – Sin and its consequences.
John 14:6; Acts 4:12; 1 Timothy 2:5; John 3:36 – Jesus is the only way.
Luke 13:3 – The call to repentance.
Ephesians 2:8–9 – Salvation is by grace through faith.
Confrontation is necessary, but it must be full of truth, grace, and mercy.
Acts 2:16–21 – Peter explains the events of Pentecost through Joel’s prophecy.
Scripture is our authority and the source of truth.
Key Scriptures:
2 Timothy 3:16–17 – God’s Word equips us for every good work.
Hebrews 4:12–14 – The Word is living and active.
Practical tool: Romans Road (Rom. 3:23; 6:23; 5:8; 10:9–10; 10:13).
Acts 2:22–28 – Peter highlights the miracles of Jesus, His death, and resurrection.
Peter references David’s prophecy (Psalm 16:8–11; Psalm 110:1) fulfilled in Christ.
Our personal testimonies are powerful reminders of Christ’s mighty work today.
Acts 2:36–41 – Peter calls the people to repent and be baptized.
Repentance = turning from sin to align with God’s ways.
Baptism = public declaration of faith.
Result: About 3,000 people were saved that day.
Conclusion:
When pointing people to Jesus, we must:
Confront misconceptions and opposition.
Take people to the authority of God’s Word.
Highlight the mighty works of Christ.
Give clear next steps of faith.
Great Commission Reminder: Matthew 28:18–20 – Jesus calls us to make disciples, baptize, and teach, with His authority and presence.
