Peter’s First Sermon Changed Everything - Jeremy Duncan

About this episode

The episode explores Peter's first sermon after Pentecost and its implications for understanding resurrection and divine participation.

What if the judgement of God looks nothing like we imagined? In Acts 2 we step into Peter’s first sermon after Pentecost—the moment the church begins to find its voice. But instead of fear, vengeance, or religious certainty, Peter announces something radically different: resurrection changes everything. Together we explore: - The real miracle of Pentecost - Why not everyone recognizes new movements of God - “Your sons and daughters will prophesy” and the expansiveness of the Spirit - The Day of the Lord reinterpreted through Jesus - Resurrection as God’s victory over violence and death - Why Peter sees the cross not as divine punishment, but divine participation This is the story of a church learning to see the world differently in the light of Christ.
