Peter's Sermon

Because Peter's audience was a group of gentiles,They were entitled 2 hear  all that he preached,and being so readily interested,they 2 can and would reap the benefits of the gospel.
Peter 1st of all lays down the law,"GOD IS NO RESPECTOR OF PERSONS!"Meaning,He doesnt care where your from or who you know,Gods rules are 2 fear HIM and work righteousness.Then and only then will you be accepted.
The gentiles never heard the gospel itself,but they did hear OF IT,rumors and such....They had heard that from the preaching of John the baptist one could be baptized and be saved.After repenting,They also knew that John preached the 1 coming after him.They knew the 1 coming after him was Jesus Christ,the savior,do gooder 2 every1.Moving about and healin the sick and rasing the dead.They knew Jesus came to defeat and destroy the devil.They knew the Jews had put Jesus 2 death,by hanging him on a tree.HEARING ALL THIS THEY THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY HEARSAY....BUT,PETER 1 WHO HAD WITNESSED IT ALL.PETER  spoke of 1 who was commissioned by God to preach and to do wonders and miracles,1 Amointed and Appointed Mediator between God and man.1 whom God sent and was with HIM all the way.
Peter began to declare the Ressurrection of Jesus and offer proof of it.
He spoke of chosen witnesses.He said Im here 2 tell U all that this is what u must do,U MUST BELIEVE IN THIS JESUS!

CHRISTIAN FAITH IS BUILT UPON THE TESTIMONY OF THE APOSTLES AND PROPHETS.
Their testimony is God's testimony,and they are witnesses to the world.
What they must believe concerning Jesus:::
We are all accountable 2 Christ as our Judge.
He is empowered to set the terms of salvation.
whomever shall believe in HIM shall recieve  forgiveness of sin.Forgiveness of sin,repentance, is the foundation for favor and blessings from God.
As Peter was preaching God stood in agreement in that the Holy Sprirt fell upon all those who were listening.The Holy Spirit fell on those Gentiles even before they were baptized shows God does not jus stick with 1 method of saving.,R way of doing things.
The people spoke with tongues and magnified and glorified God.And added to the realization of Christ and all the benefits of a ealtionship with him.The Jews who were present who already believed were astounded and dismayed.
Peter begin to baptize those whom the Holy Spirit had fell on.
The people begged Peter 2 stay,they wanted more of the Word and More of the knowledge of God.
THOSE WHO REALLY REALLY REALLY KNOW CHRIST ARE ALWAYS HUNGERING AND THIRSTING FOR MORE. 


2 REPENT IS 2 KNEEL BEFORE JESUS,THE KING,STOP SINNING,ATTEND CHURCH REGULARLY AND TO PLEDGE YOUR LIFE AND ALL THAT YOU HAVE TO HIM.

The Man Cornelius

Wow this a great story about the first Gentile(people who R not jew and are not saved other people in the world)2 recieve the gospel and 2 B baptized.His name is Cornelius.He wuz a great man,a good man,usually great men dont hardly turn out 2 b good men.But he was and he did fear the Lord and he was a giver and he was prayerful.Amen
He was an officer in the roman army,high in rank,The soldiers usually used their service in the army 2 excuse their lack of religion.But not Cornelius,him and all his house served the Lord.
IF THE FEAR OF GOD RULES YOUR HEART IT WILL B MADE MANIFEST IN WORKS AND LOVE AND ALL THAT YOU DO!

One day Cornelius was in the midst of paryer and had a vision,An angel appeared 2 him,he saw the angel with his eyes,and was afraid.The angel assured Cornelius that God was pleased w/him.Could you imagine God being pleased w/U.God sayin dont worry my child your on the right path,I love you.Wow

Now Cornelius was already a very Religious man and God was pleased but GOD said theres more.His next goal was 2 accept the Christian religion  and 2 believe N Jesus Christ.Not if he wanted 2 but it was a must.

So the angel told Cornelius,you must send for Peter.Cornelius made haste,he did it right away,when souls are at stake there is no time 2 lose.He sent his best people.Soon as Cornelius sent the messenger the angel went away.Now in Cornelius mind he was thinking WILL PETER EVEN COME? 2 ME A GENTILE.
Peter havin the mind that gentiles are uncircumcised and unclean.Begin 2 pray,he prayed all day long and fell n2 a trance and there he had the vision.
DID YOU KNOW THAT THE CLEARER WE GET FROM THE WORLD,THE NEARER WE GET 2 HEAVEN.Peter being in a trance, his mind wuz clear of the world and he recieved divine things.Peter was directed  N the psirit 2 go along w/Cornelius messengers.He took some of his own followers also.This is how you show respect 2 your ministers.YOU FOLLOW.
While waiting Cornelius gathered 2gether his own family,kinsman and friends.Peter upon entering was very pleased 2 have been waited upon.2 be receieved with anticipation was a great encouragement to him.

THAT IS HOW WE SHOULD BE GATHERIN MANY AS WE CAN 2 COME 2GETHER 2 GET FED THE WORD.

As Peter entered Cornelius fell down as his feet 2 worship him,such reverence.Peter raised him 2 his feet and said I am but a mere man myself.Peter said that honour belongs 2 God and God alone.

Cornelius begin 2 explain the vision and how he came 2 send 4 Peter.He declared 2 Peter is own desire and readiness 2 reciceve the message from God,as well as all those he had gathered.
As faithful ministers,we are 2 come ready,willin and able when we are sent for.
Peter was here 2 pearch ALL THINGS commanded of him by GOD.
THIS IS Y PETER IS MY FAVORITE,HE PREACHED THE FIRST SERMON THE GENTILES WOULD HEAR.
