—Acts 2:37-44

Peter’s sermon in verses 14-36 was convicting for the people listening. The preaching of Christ crucified is powerful stuff. It brought about a change in heart for his listeners and Peter was quick to respond with actionable steps. He told them to repent and be baptized. But that is not where their learning stopped. Verse 40 says he “kept on exhorting them.” After their conversion and baptism, the apostles continued to teach and fellowship with the new converts. As we witness, we are called to bring in new believers, but also to keep teaching those already in the faith, that we may grow together in Christ.
