PASSAGE: Peter Heals the Crippled Beggar, Peter Speaks to the Onlookers
MEMORY VERSE: "Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need" -Acts 2:45
NOTES: (v.1-10) Peter and John were walking to the temple when they met a man who was crippled from birth. The man asked them for money, but Peter said, "Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk." He JUMPED TO HIS FEET and began to walk!! "When all the people saw him walking and praising God, 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."
-(v.11-26) The people were astonished at what Peter did, and Peter preached to the crowd. He told them about how Jesus was killed by them, thus disowning the Holy and Righteous one. But "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 given this complete healing to him, as you can all see." Peter preached repentance, so that their sins may be wiped away.
Peter gave glory to GOD immediately after performing an amazing miracle. No matter what crazy things he did, he always remembered that it is God who empowers him to do these things for His glory!!
