Pastor: Michael Howard


Scripture: Acts 9:32-43

32 As Peter traveled about the country, he went to visit the Lord’s
people who lived in Lydda.
33 There he found a man named Aeneas, who was paralyzed and had been
bedridden for eight years.
34 “Aeneas,” Peter said to him, “Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and
roll up your mat.” Immediately Aeneas got up.
35 All those who lived in Lydda and Sharon saw him and turned to the
Lord.

36 In Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (in Greek her name is
Dorcas); she was always doing good and helping the poor.
37 About that time she became sick and died, and her body was washed
and placed in an upstairs room.
38 Lydda was near Joppa; so when the disciples heard that Peter was in
Lydda, they sent two men to him and urged him, “Please come at once!”

39 Peter went with them, and when he arrived he was taken upstairs to
the room. All the widows stood around him, crying and showing him the
robes and other clothing that Dorcas had made while she was still with
them.

40 Peter sent them all out of the room; then he got down on his knees
and prayed. Turning toward the dead woman, he said, “Tabitha, get up.”
She opened her eyes, and seeing Peter she sat up.
41 He took her by the hand and helped her to her feet. Then he called
for the believers, especially the widows, and presented her to them
alive.
42 This became known all over Joppa, and many people believed in the
Lord.
43 Peter stayed in Joppa for some time with a tanner named Simon.
