| 0:00.0 | The I'm going to do. Scripture teaches that Jesus saves all who call on him. So how can we |
| 0:30.0 | encourage unbelievers to do just that. |
| 0:33.0 | Today on Truth for Life will see how the Apostle Peter's first sermon in the book of |
| 0:37.3 | Acts established a framework for effectively sharing the gospel. Alister Begg is teaching from Acts Chapter verse what we're turning to is |
| 0:58.0 | essentially the first Christian sermon and what I'd like to do in working our way through this sermon is to do so under three simple |
| 1:07.3 | headings. |
| 1:08.3 | First of all, setting the focus, which is what Peter does, and then stating the facts and what he emphasizes in these |
| 1:16.6 | verses is two things the finality of what has taken place and the universality of what has taken place. And it has |
| 1:26.3 | taken place you will notice in the context of the last days. The last days I |
| 1:31.7 | think we're well enough taught now to understand that those these days |

| 2:14.9 | you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria to the ends of the earth. |
| 2:19.1 | Peter says, the promise of God of his spirit has come today and the responsibility to which he charges us |
| 2:29.6 | is also being responded to today and you will know that because that is exactly what I'm doing. |
| 2:36.1 | God has poured out his spirit upon me and on the others who were with me and in fulfillment of his promise I am now telling you |
| 2:46.6 | people what the Bible says in order that you too might come to know the living God. Now when you read a section like |
| 2:57.5 | this and it's not the easiest of sections and there are all kinds of bypass |
| 3:02.3 | meadows in which we might find ourselves, remember to stand far |
