The Interruptible Life: Experiencing God in the Everyday
What does it look like when the ordinary becomes the setting for something extraordinary? In Acts 3:1-10, we find Peter and John doing something completely routine — heading to the temple for afternoon prayer — when everything shifts. A man lame from birth, positioned at the Beautiful Gate day after day, calls out for what he always receives: a few coins from passersby. What he gets instead changes his life entirely. This sermon digs into what made that moment possible, and the answer is both simple and challenging: availability. Peter and John were not rushing. They slowed down enough to notice a person that most walked past without a second glance. They were honest about what they had and what they lacked, and they offered it without apology. The central insight here is that an interruptible life creates awe and gospel opportunity. We carry something into every ordinary moment — the presence of God's Spirit — and when we are open to being interrupted by the needs around us, the supernatural can break through the mundane. This is not a story about extraordinary people. It is a story about ordinary people who believed God was already at work and chose to join him. The question it leaves us with is both personal and urgent: are we living lives open enough to be interrupted?
