1. The Condemnation of the King - 22 men of Israel, hear these words
His Identity - Jesus of Nazareth,
His Activity - a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs,
His Authority - which God did by him in the midst of you,
as ye yourselves also know:
His Humanity - 23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God,
His Humility - ye have taken, & by wicked hands have crucified & slain
2. The Coronation of the King
Divinely Raised - 24 whom God hath raised up,
Divinely Released - having loosed the pains of death:
Divinely Revealed - it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
Divinely Reclaimed -
32 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
3. The Confirmation of the King
His - Place 33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and
Prize - having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost
Present - he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.
4. The Commendation of the King
The Expectation - 34 For David is not ascended into the heavens:
The Explanation - but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord,
Sit thou on my right hand, 35 until I make thy foes thy footstool.
The Exhortation - 36 let all the house of Israel know assuredly,
The Exaltation - that God hath made that same Jesus,
whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
5. The Confrontation of the King
The Contention -
The Certainty of His Crowning -
36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly,
Sovereignty of His Crowning - that God hath made that same Jesus
The Solemnity of His Crowning - whom ye have crucified,
The Supremacy of His Crowning - both Lord and Christ.
The Conviction - It's Rebuke - 37 Now when they heard this,
It's Reproof - they were pricked in their heart,
It's Request - and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles,
Men and brethren, what shall we do?
It's Response - It's Punctual - 37 Now when they heard this,
It's Powerful - they were pricked in their heart,
It's Pivotal - and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles,
It's Practical - Men and brethren, what shall we do?
The Conversion - There Is Only -
One Course - 38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized
One Call - every one of you
One Cause - in the name of Jesus Christ
One Cure - for the remission of sins,
6. The Contribution of the King
It's Promise - 38 and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
It's Provision -
It's Personal - 39 For the promise is unto you,
It's Perpetual - and to your children,
It's Plentiful - and to all that are afar off,
It's Paternal - even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
It's Profit - 41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized:
It's Production - 41 and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
7. The Celebration of the King - It Was -
Continual - 46 they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple,
Communal - and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
Commendable 47 praising God, and having favour with all the people
Crucial & the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved
