Spreading The Word

On this program, the hosts will be taking a brief survey of the book of Acts in order to see what the ministry of Word and sacrament should look like in actual practice. By examining Peter’s inaugural sermon on the day of Pentecost, what we discover is that the apostle pointed his hearers to the finished work of Christ, and those who believed were told to “repent and to be baptized for the forgiveness of sins” (Acts 2:38). Once they were baptized, we then find these new converts devoting themselves “to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, and to the breaking of bread and the prayers” (Acts 2:42).
