Pastor David Watson explores Peter's powerful sermon in Acts 2 that led to 3,000 conversions, contrasting it with modern sermon preferences. He notes that while contemporary Christians often prefer encouraging, practical messages, Peter's sermon boldly proclaimed that "judgment is coming, but deliverance is here." Drawing parallels to Jonathan Edwards' famous sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God," Pastor Watson explains how Peter answered two crucial questions: who is the Lord (Jesus), and what does it mean to call on His name?

The sermon concludes with three practical applications: step into a personal relationship with Jesus through genuine repentance, step out through baptism as a public declaration of your primary association with Christ, and step toward others with the power of the Holy Spirit. Pastor Watson challenges the congregation to consider what step they need to take today, emphasizing that we have "an extraordinary opportunity" to respond to Christ who has "flung the door of mercy wide open."
