Sermon Outline:

Acts 3:1–9 (NKJV)

¹Now Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.

²And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms from those who entered the temple;

³who, seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked for alms.

⁴And fixing his eyes on him, with John, Peter said, “Look at us.”

⁵So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them.

⁶Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.”

⁷And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.

⁸So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them—walking, leaping, and praising God.

⁹And all the people saw him walking and praising God.

That God normally operates the universe
consistently makes science possible;
that he does not always do so ought to keep science
humble.

D. A. Carson

The miracles as such do not directly prove Jesus to be the Son of
God; this power could have been given to him as a mere man.
But indirectly they prove him to be the Son of God because they
prove him to be a truthful messenger,
and this truthful messenger says that he is God.

John H. Gerstner
