In Acts 3, Peter and John heal a crippled man and boldly proclaim the gospel, continuing the very things Jesus did throughout His ministry. This passage reminds us that the church is called to embody both compassion and proclamation—bringing healing to a broken world and grace to a lost one. As the body of Christ, we are sent out to continue His ministry until He returns to make all things new.

The first church was more than a gathering on Sundays—it was a Spirit-empowered community devoted to Scripture, prayer, fellowship, and generosity. In Acts 2:42–47, we see believers living life together in unity and witness, embodying what it means to be the family of God. This passage challenges us to move beyond busyness and routine, to embrace devotion, connection, and Spirit-filled fellowship that puts Jesus on display in the world.

This passage reminds us of the power and simplicity of the Gospel and challenges us to live as witnesses of its truth today.
