How does Peter's first sermon reflect both the sovereign plan of God and the human responsibility of those who crucified Jesus? In Peter's second sermon, after the healing of the lame beggar, what were the titles that he attributed to Jesus? How did Peter call for a response at the close of the two speeches?
Family Devotions—Scripture & Questions
Read Acts 2:22-41. After the gift of unstudied languages (tongues) had gathered the people's attention because they heard things spoken in their own language, Peter addresses them. In this part of his sermon, what does Peter tell us about who Jesus is and the Holy Spirit? Have you been "cut to the heart" (verse 37) by the news of Jesus? If so, what should you do in response?
Biblical Prayer Focus
