5 Kingdom Connect Points Between the Old and New Testament- Pastor Matt Baker - 8-2-26

We're gonna be in verses 25 through 41.

This is the last section of Peter's sermon.

Peter preaches probably, like, the second-greatest sermon in the Bible.

Jesus' sermon, now it's probably considered the greatest, but this is probably the second-greatest sermon.

And it is a powerhouse.

It is awesome.

But a lot gets missed in, in Peter's sermon because of the river of differences between the time in which it was written and where we're at today.

And so we're gonna read it, and we're gonna unpack this last section of Peter's sermon.

Uh, I'm calling this message Eternal Life Under The True King, and we're gonna look at six kingly connect points between the Old and New Covenant.

Because Pentecost happens at a unique time.

Pentecost, Acts 2, is the birth of the New Testament church.

It's the beginning of the New Covenant age.

The New Covenant in Jesus Christ is the New Covenant age.

And the New Covenant is good because it's a covenant based on faith in Christ, amen.

We don't have to jump through religious hoops in order to demonstrate our salvation.

We have to make the good confession that Jesus Christ is Lord and King.

And when you make that good confession, you are adopted as a son or daughter, reconciled to the Father through the Son.

And so that's the New Covenant.

The Old Covenant, we had to go and make sacrifices.

We had to go and do all these religious things, and we don't have to do those anymore, thanks be to Jesus Christ.

And so we'll be in Acts 2:25 through 41, and we're picking up in this New Covenant age.

And Peter is gonna connect some dots between what's happening in their time at Pentecost.

He's connecting it to what God had done in the past and letting them know what God's doing in the future.

And so that's kind of the, the, the, the cusp of Peter's sermon here in Acts chapter 2.
