I)  Peter's Condemnation of Israel - Acts 3:11-16
         A)  Peter Deflects their attention - Acts 3:12
                  1)  Why do you Wonder at this?
                  2)  Why do you Stare at us?
         B) God "Glorified His Servant" Jesus - Acts 3:13
                  1)  By Allowing His rejection - Acts 3:13b-14
                           a) You Rejected the counsel - Acts 3:13b
                           b)  You Replaced the Righteous - Acts 3:14
                           c)  You Killed the Author of life - Acts 3:15
                  2)  By Raising Him from the dead - Acts 3:15
                           a)  Demonstrates His power & authority
                           b)  This is the Pivotal truth of Christianity

II) Peter's Exhortation to Israel - Acts 3:17-23
          A) Peter's Exhortation - Acts 3:18-23
                 Peter's Offer consisted of 3 things:
                   1)  Remission of sin = Acts 3:19
                   2)  Refreshment offer = Acts 3:20
                   3)  Return of Jesus    = Acts 3:20
                            a)  From Divine Prophecies - Acts 3:18
                            b)  With Divine Warnings - Acts 3:19, 23
          B)  God's Promised Blessings - Acts 3:25-26
                   1)  Blessing of the Nations - 3:25
                   2)  Having Turned from Wickedness - 3:26

III) Connection of Israel to Jesus - Acts 3:24-26
            A)  Moses - One like him Israel obeys
              (See Deut 18:15)
            B)  Samuel - and all the prophets -  Acts 3:24
            C)  Abraham - All Nations will be blessed
             through him

Conclusion:  Faith in His Name - Acts 3:16
   1)  Healed the impotent man
      2)  Brings Offer of repentance & salvation
     3)  Promises a time of refreshment
      4) Promises of the return of the Christ

All this is based on "faith in His name" (Acts 3:16), for any and all who will listen to this Prophet (Jesus) (Acts 3:23) and repent.
