Acts 9:36-42
There are many ways of blessing others. Tabitha (Dorcas—meaning “gazelle” – in Greek) was apparently not much of a preacher, but God equipped her to sew, and gave her a heart for the poor. She was clearly known by what she left behind—the “show and tell” time in verse 39 is a deeply touching scene.

- To what extent do you think behavior like Tabitha’s is a matter of natural inclination, and to what extent do you believe it reflects intentional moral choices? What choices are you making to bless others with whatever talents and gifts you have been given?
- God used both Peter, the apostle, preacher and healer, and Tabitha, the seamstress with a compassionate heart, to lead many to believe in Jesus. What role(s) has God equipped you to play in the work of the gospel? How committed are you to doing your part in helping others to believe?
