This message looks at the life of Tabitha, a beloved disciple known for all she did for the poor. As we examine her life and resurrection, we see the key for those of us who long to feel alive and full of life.

In this message, we are reminded that the sufferings of this life are not worthy to be compared to the glory that will be revealed when Christ returns. As we look at the life of James, we see his desire was to have a great place in the kingdom of God. And while it looks different than expected, Jesus has granted that to him and to all who are willing to join him in being sons and daughters of thunder.

The Bible tells us that without faith it is impossible to please God and so, in this message, we have the opportunity to examine another life in ourAbundant Lives series. So far we have looked at a king, a judge, two skilled workers, a widow, a prophetess, a tribal leader, a government official, a citizen of Sodom, and more. In Joshua 2, we meet a prostitute, Rahab, who turns out to be one of the Bible’s foremost examples of what it means to have faith.

One of the blessings of this Abundant Lives series is that we get to see how the life of Jesus plays itself out in all sorts of different lives. So far we have looked at a tribal leader, a female prophet, a king, a government official, a widow, and a citizen living in Sodom and Gomorrah. In this message, we have the opportunity to meet two men that we might call the patron saints of working professionals. They demonstrate how skilled craftsman, artists, business professionals, educators, and workers everywhere can be filled with God’s Spirit and used for great things.

In looking at the life of Caleb, we find that one of the keys to an abundant life is seeing today’s giants through the lens of yesterday’s faithfulness.

For this message, we are looking at the Huldah, a prophet from the time of King Josiah. This message considers the truth of Scripture about God’s role for women, especially as prophets, through the lens of Huldah’s life. It is an encouragement that, as God tells us in Joel, he does and will continue to pour out His Spirit on women that they would prophesy. It also includes a warning against treating prophecy with contempt, or treating women who prophesy with contempt, because then we are treating the Spirit with contempt.
