Confronting the Murderers of Christ, Part 1 (Acts 3:12–18) | John MacArthur

Summary

The sermon focuses on the apostle Peter's sermon in Acts 3, which follows the miraculous healing of a lame beggar at the temple. Peter uses this miracle as an opportunity to preach about Jesus Christ, emphasizing his divinity, crucifixion, and resurrection, while challenging the Jewish people about their role in rejecting and crucifying Jesus. The key message is that the early apostles consistently centered their preaching on Christ's identity as the Son of God and Savior, using biblical evidence to prove his messianic role and transformative power of faith in his name.
