What a Difference You've Made in My Life
Steve Wagers
Acts 3:1-10


In 1977, Archie Jordan penned a song, intended to be released as a Christian single; however, it was made famous as a country song by Ronnie Milsap. The song describes the impact someone near to him had made upon his life.

God is a difference making God.
The Bible is a difference making Book.

Abraham made a difference.
Joseph made a difference.
Moses made a difference
Joshua made a difference
Boaz made a difference
Esther made a difference
Nehemiah made a difference
Daniel made a difference

John made a difference
Peter made a difference
Stephen made a difference
Paul made a difference
Jesus ALWAYS makes a difference

The church is supposed to make a difference

I love this definition of what church is supposed to be,
''The church is not a refrigerator for preserving personal piety; it is a dynamo for changing human wills with power.
The church is not a store to furnish hammocks for the lazy; it is an equipping house that offers well-fitted yokes to handle life's load. The church is not a place to dodge life's difficulties; it is a place that furnishes strength and courage to meet them.''

Supernatural things have transpired in just a matter of days.
Acts 1: 120
Acts 2: 3000 saved
Acts 3-4: 5000 saved

Acts 1: WAITING on the Lord
Acts 2: WORKING for the Lord
Acts 3: WITNESSING of the Lord

Acts 1: They witness the PERSON of Christ
Acts 2: They witness the POWER of Christ
Acts 3: They witness the PURPOSE of Christ

Acts 2: Peter the PREACHER
Acts 3: Peter the PERSONAL-worker

Acts 2: God is focused on the MULTITUDE
Acts 3: God is focused on the MINORITY

3 words:
(2) ''LAME''
(7) ''LIFTED''
(8) ''LEAPING''

Those words describe the Jesus made in his life, and in my life.

1) A PITIFUL SINNER!
''LAME''

a) His BIRTH PRODUCED It (2)

(2)''lame from his mother's womb''
--Born with the malady
(4:22) ''forty years old''
