- often under inconvenient times, easier to walk away
- helping the needs of others is giving to Jesus
II. BIBLICAL CONTEXT – Acts 3:1-20

D. JESUS RECEIVES ALL THE GLORY
- gifts, healings, change of condition is through Jesus Christ
- share the Gospel (repentance and salvation offered in Jesus)
III. IMPLICATIONS/APPLICATIONS/REFLECTIONS
