Times of Refreshing
In the lame beggar we see a picture of our spiritual state before Christ. We are poor, needy and without hope in ourselves, but we have a Saviour who reaches down and raises us up.

Christian devotion, as described in the early church, looks like dedication to apostolic teaching, fellowship, the breaking of bread together, and prayer.
The Spirit has been poured out so that you can know that the Jesus who was crucified has been made Lord and Christ.
Every legitimate experience of the Holy Spirit is rooted in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus.
Jesus Christ is ascended and is now seated in heaven as the judge, with the scars that prove that your sins are forgiven.
Every single thing that we do and teach is only possible because the Risen Jesus ascended into heaven and sent his Spirit. The heart of every Christian should desire more of the Spirit, that we might effectively bear witness to the good news of the gospel.
The strength of our friendship with Christ is that he comes to us in peace even when we fail him. The Risen Christ comes to you in peace and brings you peace.
When the Risen Christ reveals himself to you in fellowship, the word, and the breaking of bread, your heart will burn within you and you will be born again.
Everything in the created order is under the authority of the risen Jesus. Your task as a christian may be great, but your Lord Jesus is greater than the task.
Apart from a real, historic, bodily resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth the Christ, we are hopeless and helpless before God. An Easterless Christianity is a powerless and hopeless Christianity.
