Lead Pastor

WATCH THIS WEEK'S SERMON


READ

Acts 3



CONSIDER

Read all of this week's passage, and consider the following questions.  

  • What does verse 1 reveal about Peter and John’s regular rhythms of life and devotion?

  • What interrupts their ordinary trip to the temple, and why is that interruption significant?

  • According to verse 10, what emotions or responses did the witnesses experience after seeing the lame man healed?

  • If you had witnessed this miracle firsthand, what do you think your first reaction would have been?

  • How would you describe the pace and tone of verses 10–12? (Calm, hurried, frantic, etc.)

  • How might a life of daily prayer and worship have helped Peter be spiritually ready for this moment of ministry? 

  • What does this story suggest about the Holy Spirit working through “ordinary faithfulness” rather than dramatic planning?

  • On Sunday, Pastor Kevin highlighted four patterns of proclamation in Peter’s sermon:

    1. He directly confronted their sin.

    2. He boldly declared Jesus’ death and resurrection.

    3. He clearly warned of the consequences of rejecting Jesus.

    4. He called his listeners to respond in faith.

  • What instruction and encouragement do you take from Peter's proclamation? 
PRAY

Father, thank You for showing us today how You work through ordinary faithfulness and everyday obedience. Help us, like Peter and John, to live prayerfully and attentively so that we do not miss the moments You place before us. Give us courage to speak of Jesus with both grace and truth. Teach us to confront sin gently, to hold fast to the hope of the resurrection, and to invite others into the life You offer. Stir our hearts to respond to You not just with words, but with trust and surrender. Make us ready for whatever You ask of us this week – ready to notice, ready to listen, ready to obey. Use us to bring Your healing and Your hope into the lives of those around us. Amen.
