How Often Do You Preach On The Resurrection Of Christ?
Contributed by Dr. Larry Petton on Feb 19, 2022 (message contributor)
Peter spent one verse on Jesus' life/incarnation (Acts 2:22) and one verse on His death/crucifixion (Acts 2:23), but now proceeds to spend 9 verses on His resurrection. In fact, the resurrection of Christ could well be called the main theme of the apostolic preaching in Acts.
In fact, notice the repeated emphasis on the Resurrection of Christ throughout the book of Acts. How can we do any less today in our preaching and teaching! Do you frequently mention the resurrection of Christ from the dead? If not, you should!
1. The pivotal point in Peter's sermon on Pentecost (Acts 2:24, 31-32),
2. Peter's second sermon (Acts 3:15),
3. Peter's defense before the Sanhedrin (Acts 4:2, 10).
4. The apostles' preaching (Acts 4:33).
5. Peter's defense in his second arraignment (Acts 5:30).
6. A vision of the risen Christ converted Paul (Acts 9:3-6).
7. Peter preached the resurrection to Cornelius (Acts 10:40).
8. Paul preached the resurrection in Antioch (Acts 13:30-37),
9. Paul preached the resurrection in Thessalonica (Acts 17:3),
10. Paul preached the resurrection in Athens (Acts 17:18, 31),
11. Paul preached the resurrection in Jerusalem (Acts 22:6-11),
12. Paul preached the resurrection to Felix (Acts 24:15, 21),
13. Paul preached the resurrection to Festus and Agrippa (Acts 26:8, 23).
