Acts 3:1 - 3:26

ActsSteve Gregg
In Acts 3, Peter and John perform signs and wonders that lead to a sermon focused on the healing of a lame man. Despite their conversion to Christianity, the apostles continued to participate in Jewish forms of worship, including temple rituals. The healing of the lame man fulfilled prophetic predictions of the coming Messianic Age and served as an opportunity for Peter to preach about Jesus as God's servant and prophet foretold by Moses. Through his preaching, Peter urges repentance and turning to Jesus for forgiveness and times of refreshing in the presence of the Lord.
