September 21, 2025: Repent and be Baptized - Hannah Thom

Acts 2:36-41 concludes Peter’s Pentecost sermon with a direct call to action, declaring that God has made Jesus—whom the people crucified—both Lord and Messiah. The crowd is cut to the heart and asks what to do; Peter tells them to repent and be baptized in Jesus’ name for the forgiveness of sins and the gift of the Holy Spirit. He assures them the promise is for all generations. About 3,000 people respond and are baptized that day.

"Both Lord and Messiah" This isn’t a ticket to heaven—it’s entry into Spirit-filled community and new creation life. What if this is not individualistic escape, but an invitation to resist the dehumanizing systems of the present age (Rome, religion, nationalism).
