He emphasizes the transformational impact of the Holy Spirit on Peter, who, just 50 days after denying Christ, stands boldly preaching and unveiling the truth of Scripture. Pastor highlights how Peter recalls prophecies from Joel and David, illustrating that the Old Testament is fundamentally about Jesus. He underscores the importance of understanding the Scriptures as centered on Christ, demonstrating how the Holy Spirit empowers believers to proclaim God's word to all.Pastor Nathan encourages the congregation to make Scripture the focus of their lives and evangelism. He draws a comparison between the real significance of the Word of God and a fictional story about a daughter cherishing messages from her deceased father. He drives home the point that prioritizing the Bible is essential for spiritual growth and witness. The sermon culminates in a call for personal commitment to engage with God's Word daily, drawing strength and guidance from it, much like the inspirational testimony shared by a woman who found solace in Scripture amidst her tragedies. The pastor ends with a prayer for a deeper connection to the Word of God and its life-changing power. How are we to use & understand the Bible? 1. Christ is the Center of Scripture 2.
