Made Strong By Faith
The second Sunday after Easter
Our message this week is based on our first reading from Acts chapter 3. After healing a man unable to walk, Peter preaches to the people, describing how God’s promises to Israel have been fulfilled in Jesus. Through Christ’s death and resurrection, God offers us all forgiveness and restoration in Jesus’ name.
