Act-An Evolving Faith in A Changing World--Grace and the Birth of the Early Church

April 28, 2024 • The Rev. Dr. Paula V. Mehmel • Season 2 • Episode 5

Pastor Paula continues her series on the Book of Acts of the Apostles as she explores the birth of the church, as people respond to Peter's sermon on Pentecost. Rather than condemning the crowd in Jerusalem for their role in shouting out "Crucify him" when Jesus was on trial, Peter invites them to repent and turn to Jesus for forgiveness. This same kind of grace is extended to us again and again when we fall short in our own lives. The church began with as an invitation to a life centered in love and forgiveness and our walk with God continues with that same invitation every day.
