Through the story of Tabitha's resurrection in Acts 9, we discover three vital ingredients for a healthy, growing church that applies to believers today.
• Walking in the fear of the Lord means having reverence that leads to wisdom and obedience
• The comfort of the Holy Spirit provides power and confidence during difficult times
• Being committed to ministry through prayer and good works opens us to be vessels for God
• Tabitha's dedication to making garments for widows was so valued that people sought her resurrection
• Miracles alone don't convert people – they create openings for the gospel to be shared
• Even small acts of service when done with dedication can have eternal significance
• All believers are called to ministry, not just pastors and leaders
• The church grows when ordinary people use their God-given talents
• Like building the Brooklyn Bridge piece by piece, the kingdom expands through incremental faithfulness
Our goal should be to live as people who fear the Lord, walk in the presence of the Spirit, and serve faithfully for God's glory and for the good of others.
