FPC Weekly Update September 13, 2012
This weekend - at all three services - Pastor Jerry
will be preaching on Acts 3:1-10, the story of Peter and John healing the lame
man at the temple. After the sermon all in the congregation will be invited to
come forward and pray for healing-for themselves, for someone else. Elders will
be present to help you with prayers, if desired. Please prepare - read the passage, pray, come.
Acts 3:1-10
English Standard Version (ESV)
The Lame Beggar Healed
3 Now Peter and John were going up to
the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.[a]
2 And a man lame from
birth was being carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple that is
called the Beautiful Gate to ask alms of those entering the temple.
3 Seeing Peter and John
about to go into the temple, he asked to receive alms. 4 And Peter directed his gaze
at him, as did John, and said, “Look at us.” 5 And he fixed his attention on them, expecting to
receive something from them. 6 But Peter said, “I have no silver and gold, but
what I do have I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up
and walk!” 7 And
he took him by the right hand and raised him up, and immediately his feet and
ankles were made strong. 8 And leaping up he stood and began to walk, and
entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God.
9 And all the people saw
him walking and praising God, 10 and recognized him as the one who sat at the
Beautiful Gate of the temple, asking for alms. And they were filled with wonder
and amazement at what had happened to him.
