1. Where healing takes place…Acts 3
The Beautiful gate
Where healing takes place…Acts 3

2. Peter and John Peter the not so sure of himself guy
John - James son of Zebedee and his brother John (to them he gave the name Boanerges, which means “sons of thunder”)…Mark 3:17
When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, “Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them?” Luke 9:54

3. The lame man at the gate

4. What I do have I will give to you!
Peter and John – uneducated men
The beggar –
God
Are you really qualify to judge what you can and cannot do, or even what you God has already done through you?

5. When you come to Jesus
You may get something completely different than you expect!

6. This was a miracle that could not be denied
Do you think that they Jewish leader would have shown this to be false…if they could have?
What would have been the net result if they were able to show this miracle false?

7. The Miracle is not without purpose
When 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? The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus.

8. You handed him over to be killed, and you disowned him before Pilate, though he had decided to let him go. You disowned the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you. You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead. We are witnesses of this.

9. By 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.

10. “Now, fellow Israelites, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did your leaders. But this is how God fulfilled what he had foretold through all the prophets, saying that his Messiah would suffer.

11. Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord,

12. The message is not hard to understand
God has sent Jesus to be our sacrifice for sin
Some today may have a hard time with this whole concept of sin and needed for a savior…I would encourage all to consider…

13. Who was Jesus
God raised up the apostles as witnesses
In the court of first century… rejection of Jesus they could not
A. Produce a body
B. Deny the Miracles
C. Explain Jesus away
