Title: Lame Man Healed

Speaker: Rev. Jason Van Bemmel

Series: Journey through Acts

Date: January 13, 2026

Bible: Acts 3

Join Pastor Jason Van Bemmel on Day 439 of "Walking with Jesus Through the Word" for an in-depth look at Acts Chapter 3.

In this session, we witness the powerful miracle at the temple's Beautiful Gate, where Peter and John encounter a man lame from birth. Rather than offering silver or gold, Peter commands him to rise and walk in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. The man’s immediate healing—marked by walking, leaping, and praising God—captures the attention of the entire temple crowd.

Pastor Jason explores Peter’s second major sermon, highlighting how the apostles relentlessly deflected credit from themselves to point the "utterly astounded" crowd toward Jesus. This devotional reminds us that the Gospel is not a self-improvement program or a political theory; it is the unique, life-changing news of salvation and "times of refreshing" found only through repentance and faith in Christ.

Key Highlights:

The Miracle at the Gate: A man known by everyone for his lifelong disability is instantly healed.

Christ-Centered Ministry: Why Peter and John refused to take credit for their "own power or piety".

The Call to Repentance: Understanding the offer of having our sins "blotted out" through the Author of Life.

The True Gospel: How the message of Jesus differs from the world’s focus on self-righteousness and the "American Dream".
