This sermon from Acts 3:1-10 explores the healing of a lame man by Peter and John at the temple gate. Pastor Jim establishes the context of early Jewish Christians transitioning from Old Covenant ceremonial laws to New Covenant spiritual practices. The message focuses on five foundations of ministry demonstrated through this miracle: the priority of prayer, the motive of compassion, the pursuit of connection, the message of the gospel, and the support of the church. The sermon emphasizes that while physical healing is wonderful, people's greatest need is spiritual healing through Jesus Christ. The transformed life of the healed man serves as a compelling witness that draws others to wonder about God's power.
