The Message!

Have you ever felt like you're on the outside looking in, yearning for a breakthrough but stuck in a cycle of begging for scraps? In this powerful sermon, Rev. Strickling delves into the story of the beggar at the Beautiful Gate from Acts 3, showcasing a profound moment when Peter and John offered him something far more precious than money—healing and freedom. Rev. Strickling emphasizes that in life, just like the beggar, many of us settle for mere survival instead of the abundant life God has prepared for us. He challenges the congregation to give God their undivided attention, as that is the first step toward transformation. By sharing vivid insights about the man's newfound ability to leap and rejoice after being healed, Rev. Strickling illuminates our potential to rise beyond our circumstances. This call to action invites everyone to not only seek personal growth but also to be actively involved in uplifting those within our community who are spiritually or physically languishing. As we prepare for Declaration Sunday, let us commit to moving forward, empowered by faith and united in purpose, believing that nothing can hold us back from fulfilling our divine calling.
