Scripture: Acts 3:1–16, John 14:12–14
Big Idea:
I’m not powerful, but I am full of power.
True boldness doesn’t come from personality or confidence — it comes from the power of the Holy Spirit at work within us.
Key Takeaways:
– Your weakness is not a barrier — it’s the platform where God displays His power.
– Peter healed the man at the Beautiful Gate not with silver or gold, but with faith in the name of Jesus.
– The Holy Spirit empowers ordinary people to do extraordinary things — not for our glory, but for God’s transformation in others.
– There are people around us — like the man at the gate — waiting for hope. We are carriers of that hope.
– Boldness starts with surrender, not with self-confidence.
Reflection Questions:
1/Where in your life are you being invited to step out in Spirit-led boldness?
2/ What fears, beliefs, or limitations are holding you back?
3/ Who in your world might be sitting at a “Beautiful Gate” — waiting to encounter hope through you?
