Is Life Passing You Bye?


Sermon Text: Acts 3:1, 7-8 One day Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time of prayer—at three in the afternoon Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man’s feet and ankles became strong. He jumped to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping, and praising God
Sermon Title:  Is Life Passing You Bye?

Point 1: Adjective living vs. 3 -  When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money. Every word used in the text about the lame man is an adjective in fact or by inference. Vs. 2; crippled, put near the gate called Beautiful, and beggar. All his life this man has only seen himself through the eyes of others description of him.
Point 2:  Adverb living.  Vs. 2 -  Now a man who was lame from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts   An adverb, if I have my English grammar correct, modifies a verb. It is also used to connect. It’s in between.
Point 3: Verb Living vs. 7-8 -  Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man’s feet and ankles became strong. He jumped to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping, and praising God
 Verb living is active living. It is when you are not letting life pass you by but are fully engaged with life.
