Acts 1-3
As Luke begins his history of the beginnings of the church we see Peter taking charge and leading the movement. He preaches powerful sermons, convicting his hearers of their guilt; calling on them to repent and be baptized. Along with the preaching, miracles are performed, confirming the teachings of the apostles. It is important to see that the apostles never take the glory for themselves. They always turn their hearers eyes toward Jesus. Peter reminds them that the works they are seeing are only accomplished through the Lord. He performs these deeds through His apostles, confirming their word, so that people might believe and be saved. It is the goal of any preacher of teacher of the gospel that our hearers would focus on God. Salvation is found in no other name!
