What Happens When You Receive the Word

What truly happens when a person receives the Word of God? In this powerful message from Acts 2, we see that receiving the Word is not merely about agreement but about transformation. It is the Spirit-empowered moment that leads to public identification with Christ, impacts the lives of our families, and connects us to a new gospel-centered community. Pastor Pettis walks us through the responses of those at Pentecost to show how the Word changes lives—bringing courage, calling, and community. Whether you’ve recently believed or need to return to your first love, this message calls you to remember your commitment, respond afresh, and rejoice in the work God is doing through His Word.
