Life speeds by faster than we can keep up. Peter paused his busy schedule to go the funeral of a disciple named Tabitha. What happened next was truly a miracle!

Even with good intentions we can head in the opposite direction of our goal. We need someone to step in and turn us around. That’s what God did for a man who was persecuting the church and it changed Saul’s life forever!

You never know when you’ll meet someone who needs you. God put Philip in just the right place for just the right conversation. The Holy Spirit works through us to point others to Jesus, even those we’ve just met.

When you are stuck in a dark room a flame of light can change everything. The disciples were quietly waiting when the Holy Spirit came and filled them with courage and power. The same Spirit lives in you!

Traveling brings new situations and unexpected experiences. The road trip in this week’s story brought a life-changing surprise! 

Your driver’s license, passport or name badge proves who you are. Jesus showed that he is the Righteous One by giving up his life for us all.

Sharing food together is one of the ways that we connect with those we care about. The day before Jesus died he gathered together his closest friends for one last dinner together. The way he said good-bye was a surprise to them all.

Parades are full of shouting and excitement. When Jesus came to Jerusalem crowds of people paraded after him cheering and praising God. They wanted him to be their king, but he is so much more!

When we compare ourselves to others the danger goes one of two ways: we can feel worthless or we can have an inflated ego. The truth is neither of those! “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.” Romans 3:23-24

Does it take more courage to climb a tree or to get down from one? When Jesus told Zacchaeus to come down from the sycamore tree, Zacchaeus responded with repentance and rejoicing! His faith influenced an entire community.
