The Fulfillment 10/11

Sermon Series: Acts – Faith Explosion
Text: Acts 2:14-36
Title: The Fulfillment
Theme: Today’s text is about the end of the waiting. The people of Israel had been waiting for millennia for God to bring about the fruition of His plans for them and Peter’s sermon on Pentecost is the announcement that the day had arrived, the waiting was over and it was time to celebrate God’s kingdom had arrived.
“Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with mighty works and wonders and signs that God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know— this Jesus, delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men. God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it.
This Jesus God raised up, and of that we all are witnesses. Being therefore exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this that you yourselves are seeing and hearing. For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself says, “ ‘The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool.’ Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.”
