Acts 2:18-20 Rescued from the Wrath
Pastor Brett Peterson
We are not speculating about headlines. We are standing at the birth of the Church — listening to the very first sermon ever preached. And in that first sermon… Peter does something astonishing. He doesn’t just explain what was happening at Pentecost. He pulls back the curtain on the very end of the age. At […]
Acts 2:14-18 Double Fulfillment Prophecy
Pastor Brett Peterson
There are moments in history that mark a beginning, and an end. And then there are moments that mark a turning point in eternity. Acts chapter 2 is all three! This is not merely the first sermon preached to the Church. This is the moment heaven announced that a new covenant era has begun! And […]
Acts 2:4-13 Holy Spirit Baptism
Pastor Brett Peterson
Church, there is something tragic happening in much of Christianity today. There are churches with beautiful buildings… polished sermons… excellent programs… well-organized systems… But no fire. There is structure — but no supernatural power. There is activity — but no anointing. There is religion — but no dunamis. Paul warned about this in 2 Timothy […]
Acts ch 2 vs 1 to 3 Pentecost Spirit vs Law
Pastor Brett Peterson
There are moments in Scripture where God speaks so loudly that history bends around the sound of His voice. Pentecost is one of those moments—but it happened twice! Once at Mount Sinai, and once in Jerusalem. Same feast. Same fire. Same God speaking. Two very different outcomes… Pentecost marks the Birth of the Old Covenant […]
Acts 1:16-26 Transition from the Old ways to the New and the twelfth Apostle
Pastor Brett Peterson
Acts 1 sits in a unique “in-between” period – ten days: Jesus has ascended The Spirit has not yet been poured out The Church has not yet been birthed They are still functioning with Old Covenant instincts, even while standing on the edge of the New.
Acts ch 1 vs 1 to 11 The Ekklesia of Church
Pastor Brett Peterson
Every time we open the Bible we enter holy ground. God had 40 scribes write His Word for us! The Holy Spirit knew, by His foreknowledge, that we at Living Water would be starting the book of Acts today, 1/18/2026. And before we start the birth of the Church in chapter two, we must know […]
Acts intro part 2 Fasting
Pastor Brett Peterson
Luke starts where the Old Testament left off in the Gospel of Luke, and Act (Luke’s 2nd book) starts off where his first Book (Luke) leaves off – the assertion of Jesus! Acts is the story of the birth of the Church and Christianity! And they fasted a lot in the early Church! So we […]
Acts Intro Part 1
Pastor Brett Peterson
As we stand at the threshold of a new year and prepare to walk slowly, carefully, and reverently through the book of Acts, there are several foundational truths that rise to the surface before we ever begin chapter 1, verse 1. Acts is not merely history; it is theological narrative—showing us what Jesus continues to […]
