Experience how a single moment of kindness to one hurting person can spark a movement for the Gospel. This message explores Acts 3:11-26, challenging the church to leave the building and act as "faucets" for the life-giving power of Jesus Christ.
This message traces the explosion of supernatural power in the early church as signs, wonders, and bold witness marked the movement of the Holy Spirit in Acts 3–5. As miracles flow through ordinary believers, opposition rises—but so does courage, unity, and devotion to Jesus. God's power advances His mission even in the face of opposition, and it's still on the move today—calling us to live courageously and proclaim Jesus without compromise.
Maybe you've heard or used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” at the close of a prayer. Like anything we get used to, it's easy to forget the significance of what we're saying. When you do something in someone else's name, you act in their authority and as their representative. In Acts chapters 3-4 we learn that a Spirit-empowered life includes speaking and living in the name of Jesus - in his strength, as his representative and for his glory. While that means hope and joy for many, it is also a threat to anyone clinging to their own power.

From our passage in Acts 3, we're going to begin to look at one of the miracles of the apostles, the healing of a man who had been lame from birth. And how the Holy Spirit used that moment to help even more people experience a much greater healing: the healing of their hearts through the power of Jesus!
Explore how the Holy Spirit transformed Peter and John from competitive rivals into collaborative apostles through a powerful healing at the Temple's Beautiful Gate. This message dives into the tension of the "Already, But Not Yet" kingdom, featuring the inspiring story of Pastor Joel Sonnenberg.

In this episode, we do a deep dive on Acts 3:19-21, one of the most ignored texts when it comes to NT eschatology. In Acts 3:19-21, Peter specifically notes that his view of eschatological matters is the one spoken of by the Old Testament prophets, and his timeline is not difficult to understand... it just might be problematic for some people's eschatological views.Time Stamps00:00 Introduction02:38 Context of Acts 3:19-2107:19 In-depth Analysis of Acts 3:19-2139:36 Comparison of OT Prophets51:45 Jewish Kingdom Expectations58:55 Putting Acts 3 within Luke-Acts1:04:41 Summary and ConclusionReferences Made in the Episode:"A Significant Chronological Problem for Postmillennialism in Acts 3:21" - https://petergoeman.com/a-significant-chronological-problem-for-postmillennialism-in-acts-321/“Implications of the Kingdom in Acts 3:19-21.” The Master's Seminary Journal 26, no. 1 (Spring 2015): 75–93. - https://petergoeman.com/papers/implications_of_kingdom_goeman.pdfWhy Most Translations are Wrong on Deut 4:29 and Why It Matters - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9s4wqeZ3FoIf you have found the podcast helpful, consider leaving a review on Itunes or rating it on Spotify.

Pastor Darren teaches from Acts 3 and invites us to recover a simple truth. Healing was never meant to be unusual for the people of Jesus. In the early church it was normal for God to meet people in their pain, restore what was broken and reveal his Kingdom through ordinary disciples who made themselves available.Through the story of the man at the Beautiful Gate and the testimonies coming from our own community, Pastor Darren shows how Jesus continues his ministry through the Church today. This message calls us to lay down a powerless version of faith, raise our expectations and learn to pray with compassion, courage and trust.If you have ever wondered how healing fits into everyday discipleship, this teaching will help you step toward a bigger and more hopeful view of what life with Jesus can look like.
In Acts 3, Peter used God's gift of healing to allow God to restore a lame man. Fr. Mike reminds us that God gives us gifts so he can be known in the world and all great miracles are attributed to the name of Jesus. Fr. Mike also tells us why our suffering matters, and how God wastes nothing. Today's readings are Acts 3, Romans 4-5, and Proverbs 27:1-3.

November 19, 2025 - Kyle Rye - Acts 3 by Buford Church of Christ
Daily Dose of Hope November 19, 2025 Scripture - Acts 3 Prayer: Almighty God, We come to you today with humble hearts. We are broken and we need you. Help us set aside our scattered thoughts and focus on you this morning. Help us set aside distractions so we might hear your voice. In these next few moments of silence, Lord, help us just focus on Jesus...In Your Name, Amen. Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Church daily Bible reading plan. This week, we have just started the book of Acts, after walking through all the Gospels. What a great spiritual journey this has been and I'm so glad you have joined us! Today, we walk through Acts 3. The chapter starts with Peter and John heading into the temple in the afternoon. There is a disabled man there, who could not walk, and was brought into the temple every day to beg for money. This passage always makes me smile. Peter says something like, "Look, we don't have any money but we have something better." And he heals him. The man wasn't expecting it at all. He was expecting more of the same – begging, barely making it, having no dignity, simply existing. And what Peter and John offered him, through the power of the Holy Spirit, was so much better. The man jumps and leaps throughout the temple courts and praises God. People are standing there, jaws dropped, shocked. They recognize him as the same man who used to beg at the temple gate, and now they are filled with wonder and amazement. And then the two men use this as an opportunity to preach about Jesus. Peter says, "Why does this surprise you?" He talks about Jesus. He makes sure the people don't think this is a magic trick or something that happened by Peter's own power. This is totally, completely, a result of the power of Jesus Christ. What I find interesting is that Peter tailors his witnessing to the people around him. These are Jewish people. Thus, he goes way back to the Jewish fathers, explaining how Jesus was always part of God's plan. Yet, he was killed and then resurrected. Peter continues by telling them that Jesus is the one God sent, Jesus is the one that the prophets were speaking of, Jesus is the one you should have recognized! It's really fascinating to me that Peter, throughout Acts, does such a great job, balancing human culpability for the death of Jesus with the inevitability of Jesus' death as part of God's plan. This death was necessary and God knew it had to happen. Prophecy said it would happen. But, at the same time, it only occurred because human beings sinned and ensured that it would happen. God didn't force anyone's hand. He didn't make anyone do anything. One aspect of Peter's message that is critical is repentance. I don't think we talk about repentance enough. Let's look at verse 19, Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord... Peter tells the Jews who are listening that, regardless of what has come before, regardless of the mistakes of the past, it is time to repent. Now is the time to turn to God and allow him to cleanse your sins so that you can be refreshed and be made white as snow. Life is different with Jesus. Allow him in and experience new life. Blessings, Pastor Vicki
