That scene from Acts 3 is more than a dramatic miracle story; it's a spotlight on Jesus Christ of Nazareth and a test of what we really believe about him. We talk through why Peter refuses credit, why the healing is immediate and public, and how God often uses ordinary faithfulness like showing up to pray to put us in the right place at the right time. We also pull back the curtain on our week away representing our church at the Southern Baptist Convention and why we see denominational partnership as a voluntary, mission-focused affiliation. From the Cooperative Program to the commissioning of missionaries sent to unreached and even hostile places, we share why “we can do more together” is not a slogan but a practical strategy for global missions, North American church planting, and relief efforts that meet real needs. The heart of the conversation turns to clarity: not every use of the word “Jesus” points to the same Jesus. We unpack Peter's bold claims about Jesus as the Holy and Righteous One and the Author of Life, why adding to Scripture or subtracting from Christ changes the gospel, and why fence-sitting is still a decision. We end with the beauty of repentance, the promise of sins being blotted out, and the deeper hope of salvation that holds steady even when circumstances don't change.

Have you ever felt stuck in the same cycle, making the same mistakes, or carrying the same struggles no matter how hard you try to change? In week eight of our Acts series, Here for Good, Pastor Dwan Hill explores Peter’s message following the miraculous healing of a man who had never walked before. While the crowd focused on the miracle, Peter pointed them to something even deeper: the power of Jesus to heal what’s broken beneath the surface. Acts 3 reminds us that God created the world good, but sin has distorted what He intended. Left on our own, we often find ourselves trapped in cycles of striving, shame, and self-reliance. But through Jesus, there is another way. Peter’s invitation to “repent and turn to God” isn’t about punishment or guilt. It’s an invitation to freedom, refreshing, healing, and restoration. Whether you’re carrying hidden struggles, searching for a fresh start, or wondering if real change is possible, this message offers hope that God can meet you exactly where you are and begin transforming your life from the inside out.

“The God of Second Chances” Acts 3:1-26 From Sunday 14 June 2026 Dr. Tim Beougher continues the sermon series from The Book of Acts with a message titled “The God of Second Chances” Acts 3:1-26fbcmw.org

In week six of our journey through Acts, we encounter a moment where Peter and John meet a man who had spent his entire life waiting for someone to help him. What follows is a powerful reminder that God often works through ordinary people who are willing to make themselves available. Many of us focus on what we lack: time, resources, influence, confidence, or experience. But Acts 3:1-10 challenges us to ask a different question. What if God wants to use what we already have? What if availability matters more than ability? As we study the healing of the man at the temple gate, we’ll discover how the Holy Spirit empowers ordinary followers of Jesus to make an extraordinary impact. This message will encourage you to trust God with what He’s placed in your hands and take your next step of faith. If you’ve ever wondered whether your life matters, whether God can use your testimony, or whether you can make a difference in the lives of others, this message is for you! –––––––––– What stood out to you from this message?

Acts 3 | Acts | Ethan Magness by First Christian Church

Series: ACTS | Living With A Missional Edge | Greg Linz • 6.7.26

Hollyview Church sermon from June 7, 2026. Paul Frederick continues our series in the book of Acts, looking at chapter 3.

Who are you turning to when life becomes difficult? In Acts 3, Peter points a crowd away from human strength and toward Jesus Christ, the only source of lasting hope, forgiveness, and transformation. Following the healing of a man who had been crippled since birth, Peter boldly proclaims that the miracle was accomplished through the power of Jesus. He calls his listeners to give God the glory, embrace the truth about Christ, and respond with repentance and faith. This message explores Peter's challenge to the crowd and the blessings that come from turning to Jesus: forgiven sins, spiritual refreshment, freedom from judgment, and a life increasingly transformed by God's grace.

Rev. Marshall Brown | Acts 3:1–26 | May 31, 2026

Our last episode was on the beautiful feast of Pentecost, and now we continue with a series on the Acts of the Apostles, exploring the growth of the early church.

Send us a message!We read Acts 3–4 and watch Jesus' power change a lame man's life, then ignite a public moment that forces everyone to decide what they think about the risen Christ.

After Peter healed the lame man that begged at the Beautiful Gate, a huge crowd appeared at the temple. How would Peter respond? Take the credit and build a big ministry in his name like so many have done or give Jesus Christ the credit? Grab your Bible, turn to Acts 3, and follow along with Pastor Mike.

At the Beautiful Gate, a man crippled from birth asks Peter and John for alms, believing money is his greatest need. Yet the apostles offer something far greater: the healing power of Jesus Christ and the life-giving message of the gospel. Through this miracle, God demonstrates that humanity's deepest problem is not physical weakness or financial hardship, but the spiritual brokenness caused by sin. The healed man leaps with joy and praises God, illustrating the gospel's purpose—to restore broken people and make them whole through Christ. As the church proclaims the good news, it brings not merely temporary relief, but the eternal hope, joy, and restoration found in Jesus alone.

Brokenness is something every person knows. Whether it's physical pain, emotional wounds, past failures, or ongoing struggles, we all have places in our lives where we need God's healing touch. In Acts 3, we meet a man whose life had been defined by helplessness for over forty years—until Jesus changed everything. As Peter and John encounter a lame man at the Beautiful Gate, we see the transformative power of Jesus Christ. What the man expected was temporary relief, but what Jesus offered was complete restoration. This passage reminds us that Christ meets us in our deepest need and brings hope where we see none. Ultimately, this miracle points beyond physical healing to the greater healing Jesus provides through the gospel. Through His death and resurrection, sinners can be forgiven, restored to God, and made whole in Him.

Never Give Up On God And Sharing His Message Acts 3:24-26 24“In addition, all the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel and those after him, have also announced these days. 25You are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant that God made with your ancestors, saying to Abraham, And all the families of the earth will be blessed through your offspring. 26God raised up His Servant and sent Him first to you to bless you by turning each of you from your evil ways.”

Listen To Everything That Jesus Has To Say By Reading God's Word Acts 3:21-23 21Heaven must receive him until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets. 22For Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own people; you must listen to everything he tells you. 23Anyone who does not listen to him will be completely cut off from their people.'

God Told Us He Would Send Jesus Christ Acts 3:18-20 18But this is how God fulfilled what he had foretold through all the prophets, saying that his Messiah would suffer. 19Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, 20and that he may send the Messiah, who has been appointed for you—even Jesus.

Acts 3:1-10One day Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time of prayer—at three in the afternoon. 2 Now a man who was lame from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts. 3 When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money. 4 Peter looked straight at him, as did John. Then Peter said, “Look at us!” 5 So the man gave them his attention, expecting to get something from them. 6 Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.” 7 Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man's feet and ankles became strong. 8 He jumped to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping, and praising God. 9 When all the people saw him walking and praising God, 10 they recognized him as the same man who used to sit begging at the temple gate called Beautiful, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

ALWAYS Give Jesus The Glory And Honor Acts 3:16-17 16By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus' name and the faith that comes through him that has completely healed him, as you can all see. 17“Now, fellow Israelites, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did your leaders.

Who Killed Jesus? We Did! But He Loves Us Still. Acts 3:13-15 13The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus. You handed him over to be killed, and you disowned him before Pilate, though he had decided to let him go. 14You disowned the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you. 15You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead. We are witnesses of this.

Look For Teachable Moments To Share The Gospel. God will Create The Opportunity; Take On The Responsibility Acts 3:11-12 11While the man held on to Peter and John, all the people were astonished and came running to them in the place called Solomon's Colonnade. 12When Peter saw this, he said to them: “Fellow Israelites, why does this surprise you? Why do you stare at us as if by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk?

Guest speaker Josh Howard delivers a powerful message on wholehearted surrender, revival, and what it truly means to follow Jesus without compromise. In this sermon at Elevate City Church, Josh challenges believers to move beyond lukewarm Christianity and become people who are “known in heaven and feared in hell.” Through Acts 19, the story of the Apostle Paul, and the call to repentance in Acts 3, this message explores disciple-making, spiritual authority, consecration, revival, and living fully surrendered to Jesus. Josh also shares encouraging updates about global revival movements, thousands coming to Christ worldwide, and why Elevate City was recognized as one of the leading disciple-making churches in North America. If you've been searching for deeper intimacy with God, freedom from idols, renewal through the Holy Spirit, or a fresh passion for Jesus, this sermon will challenge and encourage you to give God your whole heart.

In week five of our ‘Wildfire' series, Pastor Dan Belshaw explores Acts 3 and the powerful truth that God works through ordinary everyday lives. Reflecting on Peter and John's encounter with the lame beggar at the temple gate, Dan unpacks how the Holy Spirit moves not only in extraordinary moments, but in daily routines, simple conversations, and ordinary faithfulness. This message encourages us to live with our eyes open to what God is doing around us, to step out boldly in faith, and to remember that every act of transformation and healing must always point back to Jesus.

Greetings, Eternal Church!It's my joyful opportunity to serve the gathering at 1650 O'Henry Lane this Sunday by bringing the Word of God to the people of God, so that we, by the Spirit of God, might look more like the Son of God for the Glory of God!This week, we will continue the journey through the book of Acts by considering Acts 3. With that, I'd like to ask you to prepare your hearts by reading through the chapter, and then consider the following questions before Sunday morning:What are my expectations for this Sunday's worship service?What am I looking for? What do I desperately need?Who am I hoping to see?There is much in this careful historical account of Luke that we could feast on, but in our survey this week, we will see this overarching purpose:We are without the power and piety to walk, but in Christ we find both, and are restored by His presence to a priesthood of praise in the already as we await the not yet!I couldn't be more excited to unfold the truths of Acts 3 with each of you, and then see how our Lord uses them to transform us by one degree of His beauty to the next that we might fill the earth all the way to the ends with His glory!

How Do You Treat The Miracle God Created In You? PRAISE HIM And Allow Him To Use Your Story To Touch Lives. Acts 3:8-10 8He jumped to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping, and praising God. 9When all the people saw him walking and praising God, 10they recognized him as the same man who used to sit begging at the temple gate called Beautiful, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

Share Christ And Give Him The Credit Acts 3:6-7 6Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.” 7Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man's feet and ankles became strong.

In Acts 3:1–11, we see a man who spent his life begging at the gate encounter something far greater than silver or gold—the transforming power of Jesus Christ. In this message by Pastor Matthew, we look at what the church uniquely carries that the world cannot replicate: not just resources, but resurrection power that brings new life. Through Peter and John's bold faith, we're reminded that God uses ordinary people to bring extraordinary healing, belonging, and hope. This message calls us to lift our eyes, be interruptible, and offer what we have in the name of Jesus. Discover how the power of Christ still changes lives today—and how you're invited to be part of it.

God Is Telling Us “Look At Me!” Take The Time To Give Him Your Full Attention Acts 3:2-5 2Now a man who was lame from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts. 3When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money. 4Peter looked straight at him, as did John. Then Peter said, “Look at us!” 5So the man gave them his attention, expecting to get something from them.
