Rise Up Pt. 2: Rise Up Where You Are Planted - 10/8/2023
from The Naz Church Podcast · host The Naz Church
Pastor John Keating Acts 3:1-10 Today I want to challenge a mindset: to start noticing the needs that need addressed around us and maybe quit accepting it and walking on by. Acts 3:1-10 (NLT) - He was lame from birth (read ahead in chapter 4 he was 40 years old) - He had to be carried, he couldn’t stand/move about without the help of others - Each Day he was taken to the front entrance of the Temple (Their Church) - So, he could beg for money Acts 3:3 (NLT) - When he saw Peter and John, it shows he knows him… - Probably had given him money before…there was a previous experience of you can help me in this way… Acts 3:4-6 (NLT) - Look at US, he’s going to throw me some coin! - “I don’t have what you want” then quit asking for my attention, wasting my time. - Peter says I see you in need, but YOU NEED SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAN WHAT YOU’RE asking for! Acts 3:7-8 (NLT) - Who do we reach our hand out to? Who do we offer a helping hand? Peter & John did not just speak up about Jesus, but literally extended their hand… Acts 3:9-10 (NLT) - Out of the hardest times, come God’s greatest blessings! I wondered what this Acts 3 story would look like today… - People ask for a place for their kids to play indoors but they need a place to invest in their kids. - People need a place to educate their kids in math, science, but need BIBLICAL KNOWLEDGE - Need a sports league, a time to pray. - Need marriage mentoring, need Christ in the center. This Rise Up is to meet the needs that go beyond our earthly condition, when things happen, we aren’t prepared for like my friend Jimmy, our needs can change beyond our control. We want to do our part and have 100% participation. Will you Rise Up?
