Giving through Faith Promise is an adventure and an opportunity to allow God to show how He provides when we open our hearts in generosity.

Sermon Notes
(Un)Expected: Glory
Acts 9:36-42
May 11,2025
Glory:high renown or honor won by notable achievements.
Acts 9:36-37
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.
Acts 9:38-40
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.
Acts 9:40
Turning toward the dead woman, he said, “Tabitha, get up.”
Acts 9:40-41
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.
Acts 9:42
42 This became known all over Joppa, and many people believed in the Lord.
We aren’t built to receive glory. We were made to reflect it.
Acts 8:9-13
9 Now for some time a man named Simon had practiced sorcery in the city and amazed all the people of Samaria. He boasted that he was someone great,
Acts 8:18-19
18 When Simon saw that the Spirit was given at the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money 19 and said, “Give me also this ability so that everyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit.”
Acts 8:20-23
20 Peter answered: “May your money perish with you, because you thought you could buy the gift of God with money! 21 You have no part or share in this ministry, because your heart is not right before God. 22 Repent of this wickedness and pray to the Lord in the hope that he may forgive you for having such a thought in your heart. 23 For I see that you are full of bitterness and captive to sin.”
It’s not about you.

The temptation to “be something great” is something we all face, but the path to true greatness is discovered as we work to bring glory to God.
