44 — Person: Peter

Number: 44

Person: Peter

Action: Preaching at Pentecost — "Repent and be baptized"

Object: Keys / Spirit

Scripture connection: Acts 2:14 — But Peter, standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice and addressed them. Acts 2:38 — "Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."

Memory hook: 44 = Acts — Peter in the early chapters; Pentecost, the keys of the kingdom (Matthew 16:19). The number 44 is the rock who opened the door to the Gentiles.

Why this number? 44 = Acts; Peter in Acts (44). Peter preaches at Pentecost; the number 44 ties the apostle to the birth of the church.
