Silver & Gold Have I None

In Acts 3:1–10, Peter and John head to the temple expecting an ordinary time of prayer—but God had something far greater planned. At the Beautiful Gate sat a man crippled from birth, asking only for temporary help. What he received instead was complete transformation through the power of Jesus Christ.
This message reminds us that Jesus offers more than temporary relief—He brings healing, restoration, and eternal transformation.
Too often we ask God merely to help us survive, while He desires to completely change our hearts and lives. The lame man expected silver and gold, but through faith in Jesus he received strength, healing, joy, and a testimony that caused people to stand in wonder and amazement.
In this sermon we explore:
• The danger of living only by our expectations
• How God often works through interruptions
• Why temporary things can never satisfy the soul
• The transforming power of Jesus Christ
• What it means to live unashamed of the Gospel
• How a changed life becomes a testimony to the world
Key Scriptures:
• Acts 3:1–10
• Ephesians 2:1–5
• Romans 10:13
• Romans 1:16
• 2 Corinthians 4:18
• John 14:6
Take Home Truths:
- Don’t settle for temporary things when Jesus offers eternal transformation.
- Be open to God interrupting your plans and routine.
- If Jesus has changed your life, live like it.
