Reminder of the healing at the temple
The Essential Gospel is what is at stake today as the foundation was being laid then.
The life of a Christian in the face of the persecution
The Resurrection is the point:
The Resurrection is the point:
It was not about the man being healed, but rather the message that came with that healing. There is a Resurrection and it came from the the one who builds the very foundation of the faith of Abraham.
The Resurrection of Jesus happened, and it challenges the belief of the Sadduceas.
If it is true then life has intense meaning and what we do with that life matters

Biblical Boldness brings about Salvation through Christ Alone. You don’t have to be a Pastor to share Jesus. (share story of the Christian rappers)
Biblical Truth is at the center. Don’t stray away from the essentials of the gospel message. JW they want to take you down a rabbit hole of doctrine. Don’t go there, keep the essentials focused in your evangelism. You don’t need to be equiped with every doctrine, not that is bad but chances are you have less than 5 minutes with each initial encounter make it count. Discipleship is where doctrine can start to come in.

Christ does not want us to hide our light or loose our salt. It is the call to stand for Christ and bow to no man who opposes Christ. You must be strong in your witness of Christ.
