Whose Faith Was It? Make it about Jesus | Acts 3:1-24 | Bro. Jim Fisher

In Acts 3:1-24, Peter and John encounter a man who had been lame from birth and sat daily at the Beautiful Gate begging for alms. But something remarkable happened that day. Bro. Jim Fisher explores an often-overlooked truth in this passage: the beggar wasn't asking for healing—he was asking for money. The miracle was not sparked by the man's faith for healing, but by Peter's faith and confidence in the power of Jesus Christ. When Peter declared, "Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee," he acted boldly in faith, trusting that Jesus was still working miracles. The man was instantly healed, leaping, walking, and praising God. Yet the miracle itself was not the end of the story. As the healed man continued clinging to Peter and John in amazement, Peter seized the opportunity to redirect attention away from himself and toward Jesus Christ. The miracle became a doorway for the Gospel. This message reminds us that God can use our faith, our obedience, and even unexpected opportunities to point others to Christ. Miracles are not meant to glorify people—they are meant to glorify Jesus and open hearts to the Gospel. 📖 Scripture: Acts 3:1-24 #Acts3 #JimFisher #FaithInJesus #HealingMiracle #GospelMessage #ChristianSermon #BibleTeaching #JesusChrist #BookOfActs #MustardSeedFaith
