Leaping with Joy: Acts 3 and the Living Jesus
Preached by James

Sometimes we Anglicans act as though Jesus were still in the tomb—heads down, voices hushed, shuffling into church like mourners at a graveside. But Acts 3 gives us a very different picture: a crippled man healed in the name of Jesus, leaping, praising, and drawing crowds to hear the gospel.

In this sermon, James takes us through the miracle at the temple gate, Peter’s bold explanation, and the implications for us today. Why does God work miracles? How do they point us to Jesus? And what does it look like to live with resurrection joy rather than mild misery?

Come be challenged and encouraged to leap in your heart, seize the opportunities God gives, redirect the glory to Him, and tell the full story of the risen Christ.
