Summary
Peter's sermon at Pentecost proclaims Jesus as Lord and Messiah, calling believers to repent, be baptized, and participate actively in the church's mission through worship, fellowship, and financial contribution according to their ability.
Highlights
Fellowship means participation, fellowship means contribution—contributing your time, contributing your gifts, your God-given skills, contributing even your possessions when there is need for it.
The church is the people, and the ministry of the church is the ministry of the people, not the ministry of us professionals who get paid.
Everything I have is a gift from the Lord. What am I supposed to do with it? Make Him known. So they gave freely of their time, freely of their heart, freely of their resources to help other people hear about, see, and know Jesus.
