Sermon Illustrations For Easter 3
Illustration
Acts 2:14a, 36-41
Peter’s first sermon, often used on Pentecost Sunday, is one of our readings this week. Peter is calling the gathered to believe in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. Peter is calling people to come into the community of believers, to be baptized, to move into the faith. He is not specifying who they must be, only what they must do: “repent and be baptized.”
