When was the last time you heard a sermon and, because of what you heard, changed the way you were living?

In Acts 2, people were told they had killed the Son of God and when they heard it, they were cut to the heart and asked what they should do.

The apostle Peter told them to repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus for the remission of sins. The Bible says that those who gladly received the word did what they were told.

But, in Acts 7 people were told they had killed the Son of God and they became so angry they refused to listen. They threw stones the preacher until he died.

What a contrast! Both audiences were told they had sinned. But one group repented and the other group defiantly rebelled.

When the preacher tells you something from the Bible that makes you know you are guilty of sin, how do you react?
