Year of Prayer   5.9.21  FCC   Pastor Blake Wood

Is there “a Tabitha” in need of your prayers?               

^{Acts 9:36} 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.

Is there a Tabitha (or a Thomas) in your life who is no longer being “as productive” for the Lord because of physical, emotional, relational, or spiritual challenges? Pray and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to you how you should pray for this Tabitha/Thomas; then pray boldly in agreement with what the Holy Spirit revealed.

DBS = Discovery Bible Study method, an effective way to study    the Bible by asking basic questions of the text: 

• What does this section reveal to us about God?
• What does it reveal about people in general?
• What does it reveal about how we can best follow Jesus?

* There will be some FCCers gathering each evening at FCC and you should feel free to come whenever you are available; hopefully, most will make this a priority once a week or more. 

** We will “bless a local restaurant” through (a) the income from this meal, (b) giving them exposure, and (3) praying for favor on their business and personnel.

We Praise You

Verse 1

Let praise be a weapon that silences the enemy
Let praise be a weapon that conquers all anxiety
Let it rise let praise arise

Verse 2

We sing Your name in the dark
And it changes everything
We sing with all we are and we claim Your victory
Let it rise let praise arise

Chorus

We’ll see you break down ev’ry wall
We’ll watch the giants fall
For fear cannot survive when we praise You
The God of break through’s on our side
Forever lift (Him) (You) high
With all creation cry God we praise You

Interlude

Oh we praise You

Verse 3

Let faith be the song
That overcomes the raging sea
Let faith be the song
That calms the storm inside of me
Let it rise let faith arise
