Acts 3:1-26, "Healing & Refreshment in Christ"

At the temple gate called Beautiful, Peter and John encounter a man lame from birth who asks them for money, but Peter raises him up in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, and the man's feet and ankles are immediately strengthened. The healed man enters the temple walking, leaping, and praising God, drawing a crowd of astonished onlookers who recognize him as the longtime beggar. Peter addresses the crowd, insisting the miracle comes not from his own power but through faith in Jesus — the one they had disowned — and urges them to repent and turn back so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord. He grounds this moment in the ancient covenant promises, declaring that all the prophets from Moses onward had been pointing to these very days now unfolding before them. Is there an area of your life where you have grown so accustomed to brokenness that you no longer imagine it could be made whole?
