History Can Repeat

Then Peter stepped forward with the eleven other apostles and shouted to the crowd...

"So let everyone in Israel know for certain that God has made this Jesus, who you crucified, to be both Lord and Messiah!"
Peter's words pierced their hearts, and they said to him and to the other apostles, "Brothers, what should we do?"
Peter replied, "Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. This promise is to you, and to your children, and even to the Gentiles--all who have been called by the Lord our God."

Those who believed what Peter said were baptized and added to the church that day -- about 3,000 in all.
(Acts 2:14, 38-39, 41 NLT)

I have heard that history can repeat itself. That we must live with care that it doesn't. We truly are to learn from history and advance ourselves because of it. But would you ever believe that you could re-live the history of the Bible?? I believe that God has placed me in a position that I get to see history repeated first-hand. Acts 2 is happening all over again. Bold leaders are stepping forward... thousands upon thousands of people are whole-heartedly surrendering their lives to Jesus... hundreds of people are being baptized...

It happened once, and it's happening again.

Are you ready??
