Bishop Noel Jones - Wednesday Bible Study - October 21, 2026

Main message: The sermon teaches that believers should not be defined by lack or by outward circumstances, because in Christ they already have something powerful to give. Using Peter and John healing the lame man in Acts 3, the preacher emphasizes that spiritual anointing, humility, and the name of Jesus matter more than money, status, or appearance.

Key points:

• Peter and John’s healing of the lame man shows that God’s power can change a person’s identity and situation instantly.
• Believers should recognize that they have “something to give” because gifts, strength, and revelation come from God.
• Spiritual maturity requires humility; giftedness should never lead to pride or envy.
• A person can be in a beautiful place and still be suffering, so outward appearance does not reveal inward condition.
• Prayer must be sincere and not used to impress or condemn others; God sees the heart.
• The name of Jesus, along with spiritual authority to bind and loose, is presented as the believer’s true power.
