WEEK OF OCTOBER 15-21, 2012

ACTS 3:1-10

The Compass First Family Church

Leading Families Toward Spiritual Maturity

This week’s R2R distinctiveCompassion (Psalm 82:3-4): We believe God calls all Christians to show compassion to those in need.

As a child, the church I grew up in developed a long-standing relationship with a sister church in the hills of Kentucky. For more than 25 years, our church sent teams of people to Annville, KY and to Jackson County Ministries to lead Vacation Bible Schools and to visit the families in and around An-nville. By Iowa standards, the region was very poor. It was not uncommon to see families living in small shacks beside the road or down in a “hollar.”

Each day, we would send out busses and 15-pas-senger vans as far out as 90 minutes away to bring children in for the VBS. This wasn’t just a VBS, it was more like a day camp. We fed them lunch and snacks and helped the families with a wide variety of needs.

What was significant about our church’s rela-tionship with Jackson County Ministries is that for a generation, nearly every child who grew up in our church was exposed through personal experience to the problems and concerns of people in need. This wasn’t simply a lesson during Sunday School, but these were real people that we developed relation-ships with year-after-year. Most of us made our first trip to Kentucky when we were in 8th or 9th grade,

and we would return each year throughout our high school years and even into college. We learned in-valuable lessons through these short-term mission

trips.It’s difficult to es-

cape the responsibility we have as Christians to minister to the poor. In this week’s text (Acts 3:1-10), we see Peter and John reach out and minister to a lame man begging for alms. Pe-ter’s response shocked the crowd: “But Peter said, ‘I have no silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you. In

the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!’ And he took him by the right hand and raised him up, and immediately his feet and ankles were made strong (Acts 3:6–7).

In Matthew 25, Jesus gives a vivid picture of how our response to those in need will be judged:

32Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33And

Day 1 ENCOUNTER–God’s word to put yourself in touch with him.

Acts 3:1-10 (ESV)1Now Peter and John were going up to the tem-

ple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour. 2And a man lame from birth was being carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple that is called the Beau-tiful Gate to ask alms of those entering the temple. 3Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked to receive alms. 4And Peter directed his gaze at him, as did John, and said, “Look at us.” 5And he fixed his attention on them, expecting to receive something from them. 6But Peter said, “I have no sil-ver and gold, but what I do have I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!” 7And he took him by the right hand and raised him up, and immediately his feet and ankles were made strong. 8And leaping up he stood and began to walk, and entered the temple with them, walking and leap-

ing and praising God. 9And all the people saw him walking and praising God, 10and recognized him as the one who sat at the Beautiful Gate of the temple, asking for alms. And they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

EXAMINE–what the passage says before you decide what it means.• Underline the words “the hour of prayer,”

“lame from birth,” “ask alms of those...”• Highlight every occurance of the

words “God” or “Jesus Christ.”• Highlight every occurance of the

words Peter and/or John.• Put a box around the words “leaping”• Put a bracket around the words “And

they were ... happened to him.”

he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. 34Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Fa-ther, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 35For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ 37Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? 38And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? 39And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ 40And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me’” (Matthew 25:32–40).Learning to minister to those in need doesn’t

come naturally for those of us who live in comfort and abundance. There is a lingering suspicion that many poor folks are working the system. We’ve seen the news reports showing the ever-present “Vet Needs Work” guys standing at the entrance and exit

ramps to the local Interstates and the scam they run, taking turns with other “homeless” people sitting in a parked van nearby. We’ve also been exposed to the political arguments involving poverty–who’s fault is it and who’s getting rich at the expense of the poor? Finally, there is the size of the problem. How do we even begin to minister to so many hurting people?

Well, to paraphrase Dave Ramsey, you have to have a plan, and you have to take baby steps. None of the excuses above relieve us of the clear biblical instruction to minister to the poor and hurting in our midst.

As a family this week, visit with your children, or examine your own heart, to see if you are sensa-tive to the needs of those around you. Study some of the Scripture passages found in this week’s Notes to get a better understanding of what the Bible teaches regarding the poor and the Christian’s responsibil-ity towards the poor. Most importantly, pray and ask the Lord to open your eyes to the needs within our own community. Take time to learn where the food pantry is here in Ankeny (Nevelyn Center), or col-lect some of your winter clothes (not summer, we are heading into winter) and donate them to Free-dom for Youth or to the local Good Will or Salvation Army. In short, as God leads, be responsive.

Storm Clouds on the Horizon (Acts 3:1–4:31)

Luke has painted an idyllic picture of the early Christian community in Jerusalem. Its members, having received forgiveness and the Holy Spirit, were conscientious in their learning from the apos-tles, their worship of God, their care of one another and their witness to those as yet outside their fel-lowship. Everything was sweetness and light. Love, joy and peace reigned. Commissioned by Christ and empowered by his Spirit, they stood on the thresh-old of the great missionary adventure which Luke is going to describe. The good ship Christ-church was ready to catch the wind of the Spirit and to set sail on her voyage of spiritual conquest. But almost im-mediately a perilous storm blew up, a storm of such ferocity that the church’s very existence was threat-ened.

Alternatively, we might say that, if the chief ac-tor in the story of Acts 1 and 2 is the Holy Spirit, the chief actor in Acts 3–6 almost seems to be Satan. True, he is identified only once by name, but his ac-tivity may be discerned throughout. His one specific mention is when peter confronts Ananias: ‘Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit …?’ (5:3). Here the Holy Spirit and that evil spirit often called the devil stand in opposition to one another. According to outward appearance, two men faced each other, and one of them lied to the other, but Peter had the spiritual discernment to see behind the appearance to the un-seen reality: Satan had lied to God (5:3–4). Indeed, Satan had ‘filled’ Ananias’ heart to induce him to do so—a kind of diabolical equivalent to Peter’s being filled with the Spirit.

For a full understanding of the early church we need to read The Acts of the Apostles and The Books of Revelation side by side. Both tell much the same tale of the church and its experience of conflict, but from a different perspective. Luke in the Acts chron-icles what unfolded on the stage of history before the eyes of observer; John in the Revelation enables us to see the hidden forces at work. In the Acts human beings oppose and undermine the church; in the Revelation the curtain is lifted and we see the hos-tility of the devil himself, depicted as an enormous

red dragon, aided and abetted by two grotesque monsters and a lewd prostitute. Indeed the Revela-tion is a vision of the age-long battle between the Lamb and the dragon, Christ and Satan, Jerusalem the holy city and Babylon the great city, the church and the world. Moreover, it can hardly be a coinci-dence that the symbolism of the dragon’s three allies in Revelation corresponds to the devil’s three weap-ons wielded against the church in the early chapters of the Acts, that is, persecution, moral compromise, and the danger of exposure to false teaching when the apostles became distracted from their chief re-sponsibility, namely ‘the ministry of the Word and prayer’.

The devil’s crudest weapon was physical vio-lence, and Luke describes two outbreaks of persecu-tion by the Sanhedrin. In the first Peter and John are arrested, jailed, tried, forbidden to preach, warned and released (4:1–22); in the second they and oth-ers (‘the apostles’ in general) are arrested, jailed and tried, and this time flogged before being again for-bidden to preach and released. Luke sees this as a fulfilment of Jesus’ own predictions, which he has recorded in his Gospel, that his disciples would be hated, insulted and rejected (Lk. 6:22, 26), brought to trial before ‘rulers and authorities’ (Lk. 12:11), and persecuted and imprisoned on account of his name (Lk. 21:12ff.).

It is noteworthy that the structure Luke adopts in chapters 3 and 4 is the same as in chapter 2. First, he describes from a spectator’s viewpoint a miraculous event—in chapter 2 the coming of the Spirit (2:1–13), in chapter 3 the healing of a cripple (3:1–10). The story is told in an objective, matter-of-fact way, although in both cases the crowd are said to have been utterly amazed and ‘unable to explain’ what had happened. Secondly, Luke records a speech by Peter which takes the miraculous event as its text and interprets it in such a way as to glorify Christ, whom his hearers had killed, but God had raised, as the apostles had witnessed. In addition, the now-exalted Christ had both poured out the Spirit and healed the cripple, thus demonstrating the power of his name to those who believe (2:23–39; 3:13–16; 4:12). In each case Peter concluded his speech with

The Compass

an appeal to the crowd to repent, so that they might receive the promised blessing (2:38ff. and 3:17ff.). Thirdly, Luke describes the consequences of the mi-raculous event and Peter’s explanation of it, namely a Spirit-filled church which in the first case learns, worships, shares and witnesses (2:42–47) and in the second is persecuted, but also prays and shares (4:1–37).

As Luke develops this second vignette of the post-Pentecost church, he focuses successively on the cripple who was healed (3:1–10), on the apostle Peter who addressed the crowd (3:11–26), on the council which arrested and arraigned the apostles (4:1–22), and on the church which turned to God in prayer (4:23–31).

Peter and John Heal a Lame Beggar (3:1–10)

Some time after the day of Pentecost—perhaps as much as a couple of years later (Luke does not tell us)—an amazing incident happens near a gate in the temple courts. Two of the apostles, Peter and John, are confronted by a lame beggar who asks them for money. They, in turn, manifest the healing power of Jesus to restore the paralyzed limbs of this desti-tute man. Cured of his paralysis, the man promptly makes a spectacle in the temple courts by demon-stratively praising God for his healing. Such an inci-dent of healing is not out of ordinary in these early days and months of the church. Luke has previously said that they are commonplace in the ministry of the apostles (see 2:43). Luke chooses to tell us about this episode because it attracts a large crowd and gives Peter another unique opportunity to proclaim the gospel.

The time of prayer—at three in the afternoon (3:1). According to Josephus, the priests at the tem-ple “twice each day, in the morning and about the ninth hour [= 3 P.M.]” offer the daily animal sacrifice prescribed by the law of Moses (see Num. 28:1–8) and referred to in Judaism as the tamid. Following an offering of incense, a sacrificial lamb is slaugh-tered on the altar. This is accompanied by the priest presenting a cereal offering (an unleavened loaf of

wheat flour and oil) and a drink offering (a libation of wine). The priests then lead those in attendance in a time of singing and prayer.In these early stages of the church, the apostles and the other believers (who were all Jewish) continue to observe the set times of worship in the Jerusalem temple.

A man crippled from birth (3:2). It was not at all surprising to find poor and handicapped people begging for a handout in Jerusalem and particularly near the temple. Charitable giving was viewed as particularly meritorious when it was done here.

In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk (3:6). Hoping to get a charitable handout from Peter and John as they pass through the gate, the lame man receives far beyond what he could have imagined. Staring at him, Peter says, “In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.”By this statement, Peter acts not on his own authority, but he is ap-pealing to the risen Jesus to manifest his healing power. Jesus himself, by contrast, heals on the ba-sis of his own authority during his earthly ministry. Other itinerant healers of the time call on various kinds of deities (such as Asclepius) or helper spirits to attempt their healings. Peter calls on the power of the exalted Lord. This healing marks yet another instance of the ongoing work of Christ through the church as Luke has announced at the beginning of his work when he says that his Gospel is an account of “all that Jesus began to do and to teach” (1:1).

The man’s feet and ankles are miraculously strengthened—in fact so much so that he is able to run and jump. Staying close to the apostles’ side, the man accompanies them into the temple courts un-able to contain his exuberance over what God has done for him. Because all of the onlookers know well the pitiable state of the man before, they are as-tonished and wonder what has happened.[Arnold, C. E. (2002).

An orphan who was forever changed by a sim-ple gift now packs Operation Christmas Child shoe boxes for children in need

Livia Satterfield’s life changed forever thanks to a simple shoe box gift.

At age 12, she had been living in a Romanian orphanage for 10 years, feeling the pain of neglect, wearing the same clothes for a week at a time, and even having to share a toothbrush and dirty bath water with other children.

“I think one of the biggest parts of my childhood that was missing was a family,” said Livia, now 25. “Because a family is the one that gives love and cares for a child.”

When Samaritan’s Purse came one day with Op-eration Christmas Child shoe boxes, Livia was be-

yond excited. She even made a friend with one of the Americans who came to distrib-ute them, a woman named Connie. She clung to Connie the entire time.

When she received her gift, Livia couldn’t believe that every-

thing in the box was just for her. In an environment where love wasn’t common and where donated toys were often taken from the orphans by workers who gave the items to their own children, Livia said she didn’t have many hopes or dreams. Her desire was for something simple.

“One of my biggest dreams was to have my own set of hairclips,” Livia said. “When I opened it, at the very top of the shoe box happened to be this big packet of hair clips. I was so excited. I tore that pack-et out and tried to put them all in my hair. I didn’t leave a single one behind.”

Another simple item in the shoe box was a friendship necklace. The girl put one half around

her neck and handed the other to her new friend, Connie.

“Maybe one day we can share the hearts to-gether,” Livia told Connie that day. “As I shared the hearts with her, I told her that I loved her. And from that moment on, Connie decided to adopt me.”

When the process was complete and Livia moved into a Christian home, she accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior.

Now a part of the Satterfield fam-ily, Livia wants to bless other children just like her by pack-ing shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child.

“I love packing shoe boxes with Mom because we can both express our joy through a shoe box,” she said.

Connie said that meeting Livia was like falling in love automatically, and she’s been an incredible addition to the family.

“Even before Livia was part of our lives, we would always do this as a family,” Connie said. “And when Livia came it was just all the greater. It feels great packing shoe boxes.”

Items as simple as toothpaste and soap mean the world to children who have nothing, said Livia, who has had the opportunity to return to Romania to deliver shoe box gifts in orphanages. And of course those extra special touches, like her hair clips, can bring so much joy and hope to a child who needs to know he or she is loved.

“The number one reason I like Operation Christ-mas Child is because they use a simple project, the simple shoe boxes, to reach the children who are liv-ing in desperate need of love and hope,” Livia said.

A LIFE-CHANGING GIFT

You can help impact a life this Christmas by participating in Operation Christmas Child through First Family Church. The dates to have your shoeboxes at the church is Nov. 18. For instructions

on how to pack a shoe box, please see the flyer at the literature display at the church.

Church TouristNames are important. Parents may spend months

researching and deciding on the perfect name for their baby. Often their final decision is based on its sound, uniqueness, or meaning.

One woman took on a new name because she dis-liked her original name. She mistakenly believed that changing it could alter her destiny. That’s not likely, but for those who trust in Jesus as their Savior and are identified by His name from that time on, a radical transformation does take place.

There is a powerful significance attached to the name of Jesus. The apostles performed miracles (Acts 3:6-7,16; 4:10) and cast out demons in His name (Luke 10:17). They spoke and taught in the name of Jesus. They baptized believers in the name of Jesus (Acts 2:38). And it is only through the name of Jesus that we gain access to the Father (Acts 4:12).

When we become Christians, we share in that worthy name. And as we follow Christ, we are able to reflect His light to any darkness we encounter, wheth-er in our neighborhood, our workplace, or even our home. Our prayer should be that when people see us—they will see Christ.

Our names may have meaning or significance. But to bear the name Christian is life-transforming.

And make me worthy of Your name.—Freeman

The name of Jesus is the only name with the power to transform.
