Rise Up and Walk!

Sunday Service: August 3, 2025 • Pastor Q Kim at HOPE Church in Clarksville, MD --- In his sermon, Rise Up and Walk!, Pastor Q emphasizes that the miraculous healing in Acts 3—where Peter and John heal a lame beggar at the temple gate—is not just about a physical miracle, but a powerful sign pointing to the deeper work of Jesus: spiritual healing, restoration, and inclusion into the presence of God. Drawing from his own past stroke and everyday encounters with people in need, PQ challenges the church to truly see the broken, stop for them, and offer what we have—not just material aid but the authority, love, and life of Jesus. He contrasts the modern church’s dependence on wealth with the early church’s dependence on spiritual authority, urging believers to reclaim that power to love, heal, and proclaim the gospel. Ultimately, he calls us to repent, return to God, and rise up—both physically and spiritually—through faith in Jesus Christ.
