Sermons on Acts 3:7:

Where God’s Power Flows

Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 26, 2017

God's power flows in some ministries and doesn't flow in other ministries. WHY? There IS an explanation. Using Peter's miracle at the beautiful gate, we can detect 4 key reasons when and where God's power will flow.

WHERE GOD’S POWER FLOWS Acts 3:1-10 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Five-year-old Becky answered the door when the census taker came by. She told the census taker that her daddy was a doctor and wasn't home, because he was performing an appendectomy. 2. "My," said the census taker, ...read more

Restoring The Broken

Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on Jan 9, 2018

The lame beggar was over 40 years of age (Acts 4:22) and spent every day in the same place the whole of his life. He is a representation of any person living out their lives without an “other” context.

I was browsing the internet a few days ago – news stories about the “same old, same old”. “Same old” suggests “nothing has changed” and speaks to those things that frustrate us or annoy us. We can easily slip between boredom and depression because nothing ever seems to change or improve. It could ...read more

What Do You Have? Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 14, 2018

Peter said to the lame man "such as I have give I thee". What did he have to offer that made the difference that day, and what do WE have that can make the difference today?

Years ago, I learned this cute little camp song. If you know it, sing along with me. “Peter and John went to pray – they met a lame man on the way He held out his palm and asked for an alm – and this is what Peter did say 'Silver and gold have I none, but such as I have give I thee In the name of ...read more

A Hand Up...not A Hand Out! (Acts 3:1-10)

Contributed by David Darst on May 17, 2021

I have come to this conclusion: People do not need a “hand out” . What they really need is a “hand up” So many people would be content to be carried around in their affliction rather than walk on their own two feet. The Worst part is many Christian’s are content to keep carrying them.

I. The Routine (1) Peter and John were still in the two by two mode -- they were going about their religious routine on their way to the temple to pray. “Ninth hour” approximately (3PM) in the afternoon. Some interesting observations: It wasn’t the time of the afternoon sacrifice; but rather the ...read more

In The Name Of Jesus

Contributed by Vicki Williamson on May 24, 2021

Today’s text is a real life drama. It is after Jesus had been crucified, raised from the dead and ascended into heaven. The players in this high drama are the disciples of Jesus, a lame man, the people in the temple, the priests, the religious leaders and of course God.

When we come to the scriptures it is important that we open up our hearts and minds to hear from God. As it is His truth and His love story to us. Therefore let us surrender to Him all our emotions and thoughts. Father by your Spirit as we come to today’s text give us fresh eyes to receive a ...read more

God is always present with us but often shows himself clearest to non believers when we go through the fire.
