Message: “The Fulfillment of All Our Hopes” from Shawn Merithew

A message from the series “Sermons.” As we pick up with the second half of Peter’s sermon, he offers his Jewish brethren both warning and hope. Though they acted in sinful ignorance in killing the Messiah, they were not beyond God’s grace. As the prophets foretold, it was God’s will that His servant Jesus suffer to accomplish the salvation of His people. Now, if they would believe, they could receive forgiveness, they could be prepared for Christ’s return, and they would receive the promised covenant blessings.

These questions must be asked because there is still a consumerist mindset plaguing modern Christianity. In this passage, we look at the character of the first church and see the purity of their devotion and fellowship as God was mightily at work.

We see here deep conviction of sin, the earnest desire for biblical instruction, and the compassionate exhortations of an apostolic shepherd.

A message from the series “Sermons.” In the first of a two part sermon series for Christmas, we begin exploring this passage in Isaiah 9 to understand how Jesus is the promised King who will finally conquer, subject, and restore creation to state of purity and splendor where we will be able to glorify Him by enjoying Him for all eternity.
