Peter's First Sermon
By: Mike Mazzalongo Posted: October, 2017
In the first lesson of Acts, Mike explains the difference between the empowering and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. The class will also review the events surrounding the day of Pentecost and begin to follow the ministry of Peter the Apostle.
Discussion Questions
- What two ways was the promise of the Holy Spirit fulfilled on Pentecost Sunday and why is there often confusion about these blessings?
- How would you demonstrate from Acts chapter 2 that the gift of tongues given to the Apostles is different from what charismatics claim today as speaking in tongues?
- Summarize Peter's use of David's Psalms in his argument to the Jews that Jesus was the Messiah.
