The Emphasis On The Resurrection Of Jesus
Contributed by Dr. Larry Petton on Dec 4, 2023 (message contributor)
Notice the repeated emphasis on the Resurrection of Christ throughout the book of Acts. How can we do any less today in our preaching and teaching! Do you frequently mention the resurrection of Christ from the dead? If not, you should preach like Peter and Paul!
1. The pivotal point in Peter's sermon on Pentecost (Acts 2:24, 31-32),
2. Peter's second sermon (Acts 3:15),
3. Peter's defense before the Sanhedrin (Acts 4:2, 10).
4. The apostles' preaching (Acts 4:33).
5. Peter's defense in his second arraignment (Acts 5:30).
6. A vision of the risen Christ converted Paul (Acts 9:3-6).
7. Peter preached the resurrection to Cornelius (Acts 10:40).
8. Paul preached the resurrection in Antioch (Acts 13:30-37),
9. Paul preached the resurrection in Thessalonica (Acts 17:3),
10. Paul preached the resurrection in Athens (Acts 17:18, 31),
11. Paul preached the resurrection in Jerusalem (Acts 22:6-11),
12. Paul preached the resurrection in to Felix (Acts 24:15, 21),
13. Paul preached the resurrection in to Festus and Agrippa (Acts 26:8, 23).
