The Beautiful Gate
Acts 3:1-17
Dr. Gregg Hagg, a seasoned pastor and theologian, conducted a two-year sermon series on the Book of Acts, which chronicles the spread of the early Christian church after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This series was designed to provide a comprehensive and engaging overview of this pivotal time in Christian history and to help congregants gain a deeper understanding of the challenges and triumphs faced by the early church.
Over the course of the series, Dr. Hagg delved into the key themes and lessons presented in Acts, such as the importance of community, the power of the Holy Spirit, and the need for boldness in spreading the Gospel message. He drew on his extensive knowledge of the Bible and Christian history to provide insightful and thought-provoking commentary on each passage, and encouraged members of his congregation to reflect on how these lessons apply to their own lives and spiritual journeys.
On December 17, 2005, Dr. Gregg Hagg covered Acts 3:1-17 in a sermon titled "The Beautiful Gate." This passage describes the healing of a beggar who was lame from birth by Peter and John at the gate of the temple called Beautiful. Dr. Hagg emphasized the power of the name of Jesus and how the miraculous healing of the beggar points to the power and authority of Christ. He challenged his congregation to have faith in Jesus and to seek the healing and transformation that only he can bring to our lives.
