The document announces that the group "Four By Grace" will be leading worship at Gospel Baptist Tabernacle on Sunday, July 24th at 11:00 AM. It then summarizes a story from the book of Acts where Peter preaches to the people about Jesus healing a lame man, saying that through faith in Jesus' name the man was healed. Peter tells the people they rejected and killed Jesus, but God raised him from the dead, and they must repent to have their sins blotted out. It encourages finding blessing through turning from sin and walking in God's way.
Acts 3c Peter's message in the Temple
- 1. www.rossvillechurch.com 781 Salem Road, Rossville, GA 30741 July 20, 2011 Four By Grace will be leading worship at Gospel Baptist Tabernacle , Sunday morning, July 24 at 11:00.
- 2. Peter and John healed the lame man at the Gate called Beautiful ; he went walking, leaping, and praising God into the Temple. Peter preached faith in Jesus Christ for forgiveness of sin, salvation, and healing.
- 3. Acts 3 12 And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk? 13 The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified His Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied Him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let Him go.
- 4. 14 But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you; 15 And killed the Prince of life, Whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses. 16 And His Name through faith in His Name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by Him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.
- 5. 17 And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers. 18 But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all His prophets, that Christ should suffer, He hath so fulfilled. 19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the Presence of the Lord;
- 6. 20 And He shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: 21 Whom the Heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began. The Jews had rejected and crucified Jesus , and yet if they had believed even after His Resurrection , His Kingdom would have come right then.
- 7. 22 For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; Him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever He shall say unto you. 23 And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people. Jesus was teacher, miracle worker, prophet, and above all , The Son of God.
- 8. 24 Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days. The Scriptures that the Jews claimed to revere, all told of the Messiah . Jesus fulfilled all the requirements for Messiah.
- 9. 25 Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the Covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
- 10. 26 Unto you first God, having raised up His Son Jesus, sent Him to bless you -- in turning away every one of you from his iniquities . Sin and iniquity is the source of all trouble. Sin will never produce any good thing! Therefore, to turn from sin is blessing . Jesus is the Answer for the world today. Above Him there's no other , Jesus is the Way.
- 11. Proverbs 14 12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. 13 Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness. When we think that we know best, and choose to walk in our own way , Rejecting any portion of the Word of God, We cut off the flow of God's blessings .
- 12. Psalms 1 1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 2 But his delight is in the Law of the Lord; and in His Law doth he meditate day and night. 3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper . God's Way is the Way of Blessing.
