What you presented here is a far cry from what is commonly preached today, a message that exalts the sinner instead of Christ.."God thinks you are great and has a wonderful plan for your life..." We preach a God today who is begging men everywhere to "give him a chance" instead of a God that "commandeth men everywhere to repent".

Thanks, and you're spot on about messages today and how they exalt the sinner instead of Christ. The part in bold is especially good.
I enjoyed Andre's breakdown of the message as preached in Acts.
