The Paul Tripp Podcast

Show Notes

Miracles point beyond themselves to the God who meets broken and needy people with compassion, mercy, and power.

Today, we continue our year-long Bible study in the book of Acts. In this episode, Paul examines Peter’s healing of the lame man in Acts 3, showing how the miracle reveals our deeper spiritual brokenness and ultimately points us to the greater miracle of forgiveness through the gospel.
