Title: "Better Than Any Crutch"
Speaker: Doug Bridge
Series: Exponential

Focus: Christ is better than any crutch.

Acts 2:43
Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles.

Acts 3:4
Peter looked straight at him, as did John. Then Peter said, “Look at us!”

I. You can't GIVE what you don't what you don't HAVE

II. LEAN before you before you WALK

Lean On Me
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

You just call on me brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on

Acts 3:7
Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man’s feet and ankles became strong.

Acts 3:11
While the man held on to Peter and John, all the people were astonished and came running to them in the place called Solomon’s Colonnade.

III. LOOK before you before you LEAP

Acts 3:4
Peter looked straight at him, as did John. Then Peter said, “Look at us!”

Acts 3:19
Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord,

Dear Lord Jesus, Thank you for absorbing my sins, with your sinless life, and burying them, then giving me the victory of your resurrected life! I turn to you. I am sorry for my sins, I need your help. I throw down crutches before you to cling to you, and lean on you. You are better than any crutch. I thank you. I want to walk with you, leap with you, and praise God with you, to honor you and your Name. Amen!

Part 2: Anchored in the Gospel

Verde Valley Christian Church Nov 3 – 10, 2024 Sermon Series: Anchored in Unchanging Truth Sermon Title:"Anchored in the Gospel" Presenter: Jim Hammond 1. The Gospel is POWERFUL Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. Luke 24:45-49 Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. He told them, "This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high." 2. We are called to be witnesses, not EXPERTS 1 John 1:1-3 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at...

OUR OMNIPOTENT GOD'S GOT YOU

June 7th - 9th, 2025 WEEK 2 _______________ The greater our illusion of control, the higher our level of anxiety. When we obsess over things we can't control, we forfeit control over things we can control and we rob ourselves of the peace we could have by releasing control to God. "Do you trust God is capable of control?" Matthew 19:26 NIV > Mark 6:5 NIV > How do I release the illusion of control to an omnipotent God? John 11:1-7, 11-27, 32, 43-44 NIV > Colossians 3:3-4 NIV > What is one area of your life you need to release control over? What is God speaking to you through this message? What is one thing you can do this week to live out the teaching?
