Acts 3-4: Why God May Be Waiting to Heal


Listen Later

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. We also sit with the harder question of God’s timing and why healing and rescue sometimes come later than we want. 
• the healing at the Beautiful Gate and the crowd’s shock 
• Peter giving Jesus the credit and calling for repentance 
• the arrest over preaching resurrection in Jesus’ name 
• Peter’s Spirit-filled defense and the claim that salvation is found in no one else 
• the council’s warnings and the apostles’ refusal to stay silent 
• the church’s unified prayer for boldness and God’s power to heal 
• the early Christian community’s generosity and Barnabas’ encouragement 
• a personal reflection on waiting, perseverance, and trusting Jesus’ timing
