This week we’re in Acts 9 and yes — it includes a woman named Dorcas 😌 but this passage is way deeper than a funny name.
We’re watching Jesus do the impossible:
a paralyzed man walks 🦵
a dead woman lives again ❤️‍🔥
But here’s the twist: the point isn’t “wow, miracles.”
The point is WOW, JESUS.
These stories are signposts. They show us that the risen Christ is still full of compassion, still powerful, and still building His Church — not through celebrities, but through:
- ordinary faithfulness
- long seasons of suffering
- and simple obedience
Jesus doesn’t waste our seasons of suffering. He uses them.
💭 2 THINGS TO THINK ABOUT BEFORE COMING
1️⃣ Where do you feel “stuck” right now?
Aeneas was stuck for 8 years. Jesus met him there. Your limitation, weakness, or frustrating season might be the very place where Christ wants to show His power.
2️⃣ Do you underestimate your “small” faithfulness?
Tabitha wasn’t preaching sermons. She was sewing clothes and caring for people. And God used her life to shake a whole city. Quiet obedience is never wasted in the Kingdom.
🙏 2 THINGS TO PRAY ABOUT
1️⃣ “Jesus, help me trust You in this season instead of just trying to escape it.”
Ask for eyes to see how He might use even hard things for eternal good.
2️⃣ “Make my life useful for Your Church.”
Your words, your home, your gifts, your compassion — pray that Christ would use your everyday life to draw people to Himself.
Come ready to see not just what Jesus did… but what the risen Jesus is still doing. 
See you soon
