"A Simple Presentation into The Book of ACTS" - Chapter #3 (Part 1) - Bro. John "Ernie" Perez

Simple Discipleship - UNFILTERED

The healing of the lame man at the Beautiful Gate marks a pivotal moment in the early church—the first recorded miracle performed by the apostles after Pentecost. This episode dives deep into Acts 3, unpacking how Peter and John, on their way to prayer, encountered a man who had been lame from birth.
When asked for money, Peter uttered those now-famous words: "Silver and gold have I none, but such as I have, give I thee." What follows is a stunning demonstration of faith as Peter physically lifts the man to his feet, resulting in complete healing that has the formerly lame man "walking and leaping and praising God" throughout the temple.
Brother Ernie Perez walks us through this powerful narrative, highlighting how the early disciples operated in Jesus' authority. He emphasizes that the apostles refused to take credit for the miracle, instead using the opportunity to boldly proclaim Christ to the amazed onlookers. The discussion explores how Peter connected the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob with Jesus Christ, showing the Jewish audience that Jesus was the fulfillment of prophecy.
The conversation takes fascinating turns as the hosts share personal experiences of witnessing modern-day miracles, reminding listeners that God's healing power isn't locked in biblical history. They tackle challenging questions about why some people experience immediate healing while others don't, emphasizing that our understanding remains limited while our faith should remain strong.
This episode serves as both an inspiring biblical study and a call to action for believers today. Can we, like Peter and John, operate in the authority of Jesus' name? Are we willing to step out in faith even when we lack material resources? Join us as we unpack these questions and more in this faith-building exploration of Acts 3.
