Peter’s Pentecost sermon is founded in Old Testament Scripture. The first passage he uses helps explain the extraordinary events the crowds were witnessing, which left them bewildered. Peter proclaimed they were seeing the fulfillment of Joel 2:28-32. But how so? What was Joel predicting, and why does Peter use that passage? In this sermon from the Acts series, evangelist Nate Bibens focuses on the first portion of Peter’s sermon and his use of Joel 2.
