Acts
Receive, Repent, and Respond
Acts 2:37-41// February 15, 2026

“Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, ‘Brothers, what shall we do?’ And Peter said to them, ‘Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.’ And with many other words he bore witness and continued to exhort them, saying, ‘Save yourselves from this crooked generation.’ So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.” Acts 2:37-41

Four Gospel Realities:
1. The Gospel Demands a Response

“‘Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.’ Now when they heard this…” Acts 2:36-37a

“Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart…” Acts 2:37a

The Four Soils
1. The Hard Soil: Resistant to the message
2. The Shallow Soil: Emotional but not rooted
3. The Crowded Soil: Distracted by many things
4. The Good Soil: Surrendered and ready to flourish

“Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, ‘Brothers, what shall we do?’” Acts 2:37

“And Peter said to them, ‘Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.’” Acts 2:38

Repentance: Turning from sin and changing one’s mind.

“‘Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!’” Matthew 3:2

“‘Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.’” Matthew 4:17

“And Peter said to them, ‘Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.’” Acts 2:38

Four Gospel Realities:
2. The Gospel Is for Everyone

“‘For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.’” Acts 2:39

“There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” Galatians 3:28

Four Gospel Realities:
3. The Gospel Is Our Only Hope

“And with many other words he bore witness and continued to exhort them, saying, ‘Save yourselves from this crooked generation.’” Acts 2:40

We live in a society that says:
• “Follow your truth.”
But Scripture Says:
• Jesus is the truth

We live in a society that says:
• “Follow your heart.”
But Scripture Says:
• Your heart will lie to you

We live in a society that says:
• “Be whoever you feel like being.”
But Scripture Says:
• Your identity is in Christ

Four Gospel Realities:
4. The Gospel Leads to Next Steps

“So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.” Acts 2:41

One Act of Love at a Time

“Now as to the love of the brethren, you have no need for anyone to write to you, for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another; for indeed you do practice it toward all the brethren who are in all Macedonia. But we urge you, brethren, to excel still more” - 1 Thessalonians 4:9-10
