Walking, and Leaping, and Praising God: Acts 3:1-10

The Trails Church

In Acts 3:1-10, the apostles Peter and John encounter a lame man begging at the temple gate. When the man asked them for money to help his situation temporarily, the apostles saw his greatest need and gave him more than he ever imagined. That day, the man who had never known use of his legs went, “Walking, and Leaping, and Praising God.” The main idea of the passage emphasizes the power of Christ at work in and through his apostles as evidence that the kingdom of God had not only come but would continue to advance.2 We will explore these ten verses from two different angles. First, The Story, then The Sign.
