Big Idea: God can use you in your everyday, ordinary daily routines to bring extraordinary impact.

Acts 3:1–10

1One day Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time of prayer—at three in the afternoon. 2Now a man who was lame from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts. 3When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money. 4Peter looked straight at him, as did John. Then Peter said, “Look at us!” 5So the man gave them his attention, expecting to get something from them.

6Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.” 7Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man’s feet and ankles became strong. 8He jumped to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping, and praising God. 9When all the people saw him walking and praising God, 10they recognized him as the same man who used to sit begging at the temple gate called Beautiful, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

Little Big Idea 1: Your Routine Can Be a Divine Appointment

Proverbs 16:9 — “In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.”

• Ruth 2:3 – “She happened to come to the part of the field belonging to Boaz…”
  → What seemed like chance was God’s divine placement.

• Luke 10:31–33 – The Good Samaritan: others passed by, but the Samaritan saw the opportunity in the ordinary.
  → Sometimes compassion is the interruption we need to embrace.

Colossians 3:17 – “Whatever you do… do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus…”

→ Even daily acts can be filled with purpose when done for God.

Little Big Idea 2: Ordinary People Are Carriers of Extraordinary Power

2 Corinthians 4:7 — “But we have this treasure in jars of clay...”

• Exodus 4:2 – “What is that in your hand?” (Moses and the staff)
  → God starts with what’s already in your hand.

• John 6:9 – “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish…”
  → God doesn’t need a lot to do a miracle.

• 1 Corinthians 1:27–29 – (in summary) “God chose what is foolish… to shame the wise…”
  → God delights in using what the world sees as small or weak.

2 Corinthians 12:9 – “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”

→ Your weakness is not a barrier—it’s an invitation for God’s power.

Little Big Idea 3: Obedience in the Moment Releases the Miracle

James 2:17 — “Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.”

• Colossians 3:17 — “Whatever you do… do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus.”

Little Big Idea 4: God wants to use your daily walk as someone else’s miracle moment.

Ask God this during the upcoming week:

“Lord, interrupt my routine. Make my ordinary Your opportunity.”
