"The Power of Repentance and Restoration”

The Power of Repentance and Restoration

Acts 3:12-21

12 When Peter saw this, he said to them: “Fellow Israelites, why does this surprise you? Why do you stare at us as if by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk? 

13 The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus. You handed him over to be killed, and you disowned him before Pilate, though he had decided to let him go. 

14 You disowned the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you. 

15 You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead. We are witnesses of this. 

16 By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through him that has completely healed him, as you can all see.

17 “Now, fellow Israelites, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did your leaders. 

18 But this is how God fulfilled what he had foretold through all the prophets, saying that his Messiah would suffer. 

19 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, 

20 and that he may send the Messiah, who has been appointed for you—even Jesus. 

21 Heaven must receive him until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets.


Message Notes:


God’s grace is not cheap grace that allows sin

to reign.


We should always practice repentance

consistently and turn to God constantly.


When we repent, Jesus brings us into a season

of refreshment that restores us.


Repentance is not a one-time event but an

ongoing journey of transformation, renewal,

and restoration.


Jesus gives us the promise of immortality

because Jesus is immortal.
