This is Part 5 of our series: The Church the Holy Spirit Built.

I’m continually amazed by the transformation of Peter.

Who told him he could heal a crippled man?
What if it hadn’t worked?
What if he became a public joke?
Wouldn’t it have been safer—and more practical—to just start a GoFundMe for the guy?

And yet, there he is. Bold. Unfiltered. Taking a wild, Spirit-led risk.
Honestly, don’t you imagine Peter was just as shocked as everyone else?
I can almost see John turning to him, eyebrows raised, thinking:
“What just happened?! Peter… what are you doing?”

So why now? Why this place? Why this man?

Because Jesus was scripting something far bigger.
The physical healing was incredible, yes—but it was just the setup.
The real miracle—the one that changes everything—was still to come.
And with everyone’s attention locked in, Jesus speaks... through Peter.
