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!
