Does God really give us good gifts? - Acts 3:1-10 Sermon, The Rt. Rev. Ben Fischer | Anglican Church Prescott

God gives infinitely better gifts than we ask for or could ever expect.

Text: Acts 3:1-10

We were blessed to be visited by The Rt. Rev. Ben Fischer, rector of Christ the Redeemer, Nampa, ID, and one of our diocese's suffragan bishops. He preached on Acts 3:1-10 and reminded us how God always gives good gifts.

As Peter and John enter the temple to give thanks and worship God, they run across a man who was lame by birth. He asks them for alms, but they have no money to give them. Instead, Christ uses his apostles to heal the man and give him something infinitely better than anything he could have imagined.

We are reminded how we often think we know what we need, and God says no but gives us something far better.
