AWAKE // God’s Spirit Awakening People, Communities and Cities (Acts 3:1–4:31).

🗓️ 7 June 2026. 🎙️ Peter Schultz.

At the temple gate called Beautiful, Peter and John stop for a lame beggar they had likely walked past many times before. But Peter is no longer the aimless disciple who went back to fishing after the resurrection. He stops, sees, and speaks with bold clarity: “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you.” The man is healed and fills the temple courts with praise. Guest speaker Peter Schultz draws a striking parallel with his own experience, where a pointed challenge from about the church’s silence on the national drug crisis led to 110 church leaders from divided denominations gathering for an unprecedented two-day workshop.

Both stories carry the same invitation: What are you holding onto, and what do you need to let go of? Peter Schultz traces how the apostle Peter released past ambition, self-will, and the comfort of the familiar before he could respond to God in that moment. The beggar, too, had to let go of his identity and expectations to receive something entirely new. Whether it is hurt, unforgiveness, comfort, or ambition, this message calls us to open our hands so God can awaken our ears to hear, our eyes to see, and our hearts to act.
