In this message, we dive into Acts 3 to look at the powerful story of the lame man at the Beautiful Gate and how one encounter with the name of Jesus changed everything. In this video, we explore four key truths:</p><p>* *We usually settle for what we know and expect.* When all you’ve known is brokenness, it’s easy to stop asking for wholeness. </p><p>* *God’s power and plan are never limited by our understanding.* Jesus doesn’t just improve your situation; He transforms your condition. </p><p>* *Your greatest need isn't what you think it is.* As Helen Keller said, \"The only thing worse than being blind is having sight, but no vision.\" </p><p>* *Jesus’ resurrection means your healing is available.* Through His sacrifice, we find the healing, forgiveness, and restoration we all desperately need. </p><p><br></p><p>Scripture References:</p><p>* Acts 3:1-20 (NLT) </p><p>* Isaiah 53:5 (NLT) </p><p><br></p><p>--------------------------------------------------------</p><p>*Connect with HopeTown Church:*</p><p>Discover everything happening at HopeTown Church—services, upcoming events, and more—at [www.hopetown.church](https://www.hopetown.church)!</p><p><br></p><p>We’re everyday people who’ve experienced restoration, purpose, and hope through a living relationship with Jesus.
