Repent

Pastor Troy’s sermon compares binge-watching long TV series to the unfolding story of the early church in Acts, both draw people in through growth, depth, and development. He highlights how Peter healed a lame man not by his own power but through Jesus’ name, showing that miracles exist to point people to Christ, not to glorify humans. Peter’s message to the amazed crowd centers on three truths: Jesus’ glory, humanity’s sin, and the call to repent. He boldly declares Jesus as the promised Messiah, the Holy and Righteous One whom the people rejected and crucified, yet whom God raised from the dead. Though the crowd was guilty, Peter offers hope: if they repent, their sins will be wiped away, and they will experience spiritual refreshing. Pastor Troy concludes that ignorance won’t excuse unbelief; God has revealed Himself through creation, Scripture, and Christ, and the only right response is to repent, believe, and be renewed by Jesus.
