ExtraOrdinary: Tabitha/Dorcas

Acts 9:36-42 (Dorcas)

In Joppa, there was a disciple named Tabitha (in Greek, Dorcas) who became sick and died. The apostles raised her to life. In the name of Jesus Christ, how are we called to do the “work” of using our spiritual gifts to serve the Lord?

ExtraOrdinary: Ananias

Acts 9:10-19 (Ananias)

As Saul was being transformed into Paul, the Lord Jesus calls Ananias to be a willing servant in the process. How do we face difficult challenges and people with tremendous grace and love?

ExtraOrdinary: Jonah

Jonah 3:10 – 4:11 (Jonah)

The reluctant prophet Jonah was called to prophecy to Nineveh and ran away! In the belly of the whale, he prayed and found the strength to do what he was called to do. How is the LORD calling us out of our comfort zones to proclaim God’s goodness?

ExtraOrdinary: Ruth

Ruth 4:9-17 (Ruth)

Ruth chose to follow her mother-in-law, Naomi, to her land. There, they meet Boaz, and he becomes their kinsman-redeemer. How do we claim the ways in which God calls us by name and redeems our lives?

ExtraOrdinary: Stephen

Acts 6:1-7 (7:51-60) (Stephen)

Stephen was chosen to care for needs identified in the early Church. After Stephen was seized, he preached a powerful message before being martyred. As a church, how do we boldly respond to the needs of the community – and what are we willing to do for Christ?

Romans 8:18-28

Nature of Holy Spirit: Paraclete

As the Apostle Paul shares about sufferings and hope, he proclaims how the nature of the Spirit provides help in weakness. How do we allow the Holy Spirit to work for the good of those who love him?

John 14:25-29

Nature of Holy Spirit: Presence

As Jesus promises the Holy Spirit to his disciples, he proclaims how the nature of this Spirit is its presence of peace. How might you need to claim this peace in your life right now?

Acts 4:23-31

Nature of Holy Spirit: Power

After being released from prison, Peter and John lead a powerful and bold prayer, and they were filled with the Holy Spirit. How do we claim the power of the Holy Spirit to speak the word of God boldly?

Philippians 2:5-11

Nature of Christ: King

The Apostle Paul proclaims how to have the same mindset of Jesus Christ and his humility. As Jesus is exalted to the highest place as Lord, how might we best glorify him as the Lord of Lords and King of Kings?

Hebrews 3:1-14

Nature of Christ: Priest

The writer of Hebrews proclaims how Jesus is “our apostle and high priest” and whose faithfulness is greater than that of Moses! As Jesus holds the nature of this priestly office, how do we believe and trust in his mission and purpose?
