Use What You Have: Walking in the Authority God Has Already Given You

Drawing from Acts 3, this sermon challenges believers to stop waiting for more resources, more ability, or more favorable circumstances before acting in faith. The pastor emphasizes that God has already placed the key of authority in every believer's pocket -- the problem is that most Christians never take it out and use it. Through the story of Peter and John healing the lame man at the Beautiful Gate, the sermon calls the church to stop focusing on what they lack, to open their eyes to the people around them who need help, to give freely what has been freely given to them, and to pair their faith with bold action. The sermon also delivers a pointed challenge to the church regarding compassion for the poor, the homeless, and the marginalized, urging believers to stop judging those in need and to start being the hands and feet of Jesus in practical, tangible ways.
