SUNDAY - JULY 27, 2025 "Continuing the Work of Jesus" Acts 9:32-43


Listen Later

Peter heals a paralyzed man named Aeneas and raises a woman named Dorcas from death, not to draw attention to himself but to point people to Jesus and advance God's kingdom.

• Peter was actively present among the people, ministering to both believers and non-believers
• In healing Aeneas, Peter explicitly said "Jesus Christ heals you," attributing all power to Christ
• The people responded by turning to the Lord, not to Peter
• Peter's raising of Tabitha (Dorcas) mirrored Jesus raising Jairus' daughter, continuing Christ's work
• The purpose of biblical miracles was to confirm the message and authority of Jesus and apostles
• Unlike the apostles, we aren't called to perform signs and wonders but to be witnesses of Jesus
• The greatest miracle is when someone spiritually dead is made alive in Christ
• We must point people to Jesus using his words and our testimony as we go about daily life
• As we are going to work, school, and our everyday activities, we are called to make disciples

Come forward today if you've never trusted Christ as your Savior or if you need to recommit to bearing witness about Jesus in your daily life.
