This morning, Pastor John will be continuing his sermon series from the Book of Acts.

I invite you to turn in your Bibles to Acts, Chapter 2,

verses 22 to 36.

If you didn't bring a Bible, there's one available hopefully in the pew pocket

in front of you. Acts chapter 2 versus 22 to 36.

to 36. Men of Israel hear these words.

Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with mighty works and wonders and signs which

God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know.

This Jesus delivered up according to the definite plan in foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men.

But God raised him up, having loose the pangs of death because it was not possible for

him to be held by it.

For David says concerning him, I saw the Lord always before me, for he is at my right hand that I may not be shaken.

Therefore my heart was glad and my tongue rejoiced. Moreover my flesh will dwell in hope,

for thou wilt not abandon my soul to Hades,

nor let thy holy ones see corruption.

Thou hast made known to me the paths of life. corruption. may say to you confidently of the Patriarch David that he both died and was buried and his

tomb is with us to this day. Being therefore a prophet and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that he would set one of his descendants

upon his throne, he foresaw and spoke of the resurrection of the Christ that he was not abandoned to Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption.

This Jesus God raised up, and of that we are all witnesses.

Being therefore exalted at the right hand of God,

and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit,

he has poured out this which you see and hear.
