Breaking the Mold | Acts 3:1-10

This week, Ben Woolbright will lead us through Acts 3:1-10. In these verses, Peter and John heal a beggar who had been lame since birth. Up to this point, God had been working in ways and specific times, but this miracle broke the mold. Every day is holy. Every believer is empowered. Every encounter is an opportunity. Peter and John went about their daily routine with a heightened sense of awareness of what was going on around them. They hear a man, who is sitting on the ground, call out to them, asking for money. His disability has prevented him from ever earning a reasonable income. The only hope for survival that he has is the generosity of others. People carry him daily to the busiest spot in the city. He spends the day asking for money, hoping to secure enough to live another day. People carry him home. However, his life changed when Peter and John, in a great act of mercy, did not give him what he asked for. The gift he was given was far better. This lame beggar was able to truly experience the power found in the name of Jesus. Perhaps you’re like Peter and John and need to understand that every day and every situation is an opportunity for every believer to display God’s glory. Maybe you are like the beggar and need to stop settling for what cannot heal. Join us as we examine this miracle and consider the Christ it points us to!
