Acts 3 - Power in the Name

Big Idea: The name of Jesus brings healing, truth, and salvation.

1. The name of Jesus brings healing for the broken (v.1-10)

2. The name of Jesus brings truth for the ignorant (v.11-18)

3. The name of Jesus brings salvation and refreshment (v.19-26)

Discussion Questions:

1. What does it mean to act or pray “in the name of Jesus”?

2. How does the healing of the lame man demonstrate the gospel message—not just physically but spiritually?

3. Peter confronts the people’s ignorance and calls them to repentance (vv. 17–19). Why is willful ignorance so dangerous?

4. What kind of “refreshing” does repentance bring (v. 20)?
