Podcasts about Dorcas

This Sunday, Pastor Keithen Schwahn continued our series through the Book of Acts, The Fifth Act, with a teaching from Acts 9:36-43, the story of Peter taking a risk of faith that resulted in raising Tabitha, a faithful disciple of Jesus also known as Dorcas, from the dead. The early disciples were not motivated by reputation but by a desire to imitate Jesus, and the same Spirit that empowered Jesus and the Early Church is available to us today.

Are all kids tech-obsessed these days? Maybe—but some young minds are uniquely wired to build, create, and tinker. Today's episode shares how to connect Tech Obsessed Kids to God's Word. Expert guest Allen Brokken joins host Tina Yeager to show us how to reach and disciple kids who might otherwise feel left out in traditional church settings. Here are some highlights and practical takeaways from the conversation: Understanding the Tech-Obsessed Child Allen shares from his personal journey as a lifelong “technology kid,” explaining how classic Sunday school—full of singing, listening, and sitting—often feels alienating for kinesthetic learners who need to use their hands and engage deeply with how things work. Biblical Crafts & Hands-On Faith Did you know the Bible is full of design blueprints and craftspeople? From the Ark to the Temple, scripture is teeming with detailed constructions and creative talents. Allen suggests inviting kids to sketch, build, or even 3D print biblical objects, helping them see themselves in God's story. Not Just More Screen Time While we often link technology with screens, Allen encourages us to broaden our definition of tech engagement. Let kids craft, sew, tackle puzzles, or model biblical artifacts—offering them tactile, service-oriented projects that echo examples like Dorcas in the New Testament. Resources for Parents & Leaders Free projects & workbooks: Allen's website, towersoflight.net, offers free resources and a blog series with hands-on activities to align with scripture. Tech tip: For screen-loving kids, try Bible-based builds in Minecraft or digital Lego tools like BrickLink Studio. Homeschool curriculum: Check out multimedia language arts units combined with hands-on projects and audiobook learning for kids. Intentional Inclusion Catch subtle cues—like glazed eyes or restless fingers—that signal a disengaged child. Simple strategies, such as leading questions during scripture reading or collaborative design projects, can transform frustration into inspiration. Get Connected Find more project ideas, curriculum details, and Allen's award-winning children's fiction at towersoflight.net/subscribe. You'll also receive their free newsletter with regular, creative ideas for engaging tech-minded kids. Let's inspire every child to find their place in God's story—not just as learners, but as creators, problem-solvers, and world-changers.   We're thrilled to accompany you on this journey of faith, growth, and transformation.

Why have some cities become places where it's easy to hop on a bike for daily transportation needs while others have languished or even been left behind? Is there some sort of magical combination of forces that separate the best cycling cities from basically everywhere else? Those are the questions asked by Cycling Cities: The Global Experience, a research project headed by Dr. Ruth Oldenziel, a Professor in The History of Technology at Eindhoven University of Technology. Nthoki Dorcas Nyamai, an Urban Development Researcher at International Planning Studies, TU Dortmund University, also joins us to talk about her research into African cities, local advocacy and cycling culture in places like Nairobi, and more. Looking far beyond the handful of Northern European cities that consume so much attention in the cycling world, the Cycling Cities project challenges us to take a bigger view of the factors that determine whether or not cities prioritize people over cars and to think beyond traffic counts or even two wheels.

Send us a textActs 9:36-43Now there was in Joppa a disciple named Tabitha, which, translated, means Dorcas. She was full of good works and acts of charity. In those days she became ill and died, and when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room. Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, urging him, “Please come to us without delay.” So Peter rose and went with them. And when he arrived, they took him to the upper room. All the widows stood beside him weeping and showing tunics and other garments that Dorcas made while she was with them. But Peter put them all outside, and knelt down and prayed; and turning to the body he said, “Tabitha, arise.” And she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter she sat up. And he gave her his hand and raised her up. Then, calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive. And it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord. And he stayed in Joppa for many days with one Simon, a tanner.Support the show

Tabitha was her Jewish name, but she was also known as Dorcas, a Greek name that carried the same meaning as the Hebrew indicated. She was a dear, and a deer. She was known for her good deeds, and she is the only woman in the entire Christian testament who is actually named as a disciple. Her seemingly untimely death rocked her Christian community to its core. Her ministry, her presence, her generosity and reach were so important and extensive, it was decided to summon the apostle Peter. Tabitha's deliverance, by being raised back to life, generated widespread belief in the Lord, a harbinger of an even deeper, more powerful, and more shocking divine outpouring of God to come. God changed Tabitha and Peter both, in a story that has puzzled many for centuries.Joanne Hagemeyer

In our final week of the Tongues of Fire Conversation Series, Tique looks at the story of Dorcas.

Women of Acts: Tabitha/Dorcas Scripture: Acts 9:36-43

Were women a part of Jesus' Ministry Author Evangelist Laverna Spain. This Sunday let us briefly review the topic of 'were women a part of Jesus' Ministry'; did they serve as Disciples along with men, becauseSome consensus think that women were just on lookers when Jesus walked and carried through His Ministry for God's Kingdom. However, the scriptures do not reflect this consensus. There were many women, though there are women whose names are not mentioned this Sunday, please be encouraged that women were planting seeds for God's Kingdom along with men. You are encouraged to also do God's Kingdom ministry. Here are a few names of women to consider; Mary Magdelene, Dorcas, Salome the mother of the sons of Zebedee, Mary the wife of Clopas, Joanne the wife of Chuza along with Mary the Mother of Jesus Christ. These women served in varies roles as Disciples of Jesus Christ. They were also in the upper room on the Day of Pentecost. The scriptures reads that, "they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues." Therefore, be encouraged brethren, women were Disciples of Jesus Christ just as the men that served as Disciples. Joyful!Evangelist Laverna Spain.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/faith-of-a-mustard-seed-messages-of-faith-through-challenges--4257220/support.

We are joined by Trudy George to unpack Tabitha (Dorcas) the disciple raised from the dead... the miracle of getting up again. Welcome to the 167!

Dorcas, a devoted disciple in the early church, was renowned for her charitable works, particularly making clothes for widows. Her story in Acts 9 demonstrates the profound impact of consistent service and faith in action. When she died, the apostle Peter was called to her side, where through God's power, she was miraculously restored to life. Her resurrection not only paralleled Jesus's miracles but also emphasized the importance of practical ministry and the lasting influence of faithful service in building God's kingdom.

 Easter IV (May 11 2025)What is your “full name” — the thing that people say after your name that completes their description of you? For example, “That is Jane, she is a great teacher” or “That is Sam, he is an amazing basketball player”Today we learn the full name of an early believer in the book of Acts (9:36-43):  Tabitha, aka Dorcas, “was always doing good and helping the poor…”  What a beautiful full name!Pastor Rob offers a word of challenge today:  In your quest to make a good full name for yourself, have you focused on the right things?  It is very tempting to focus on the “resume” virtues instead of the “obituary” virtues!There is also a profound word of grace today in today's reading, a reminder that ultimately, God has the last word on our name and not our mistakes, failures or bad things that have happened to us.Note:  I do not have permission (yet) to post this artwork by a Christian artist named Sarah Beth, but I found it so beautiful!  You can purchase the art here.

God often works through women to accomplish extraordinary things. In Acts 9, the story of Tabitha offers a powerful reminder that faithfulness and strong character are tools that God uses in the lives of His people to advance His Kingdom. Tabitha's life was a model of service, and God used this life of faithfulness to influence others in His grace! Tabitha's legacy reminds us that when we live faithfully, God can work through us in ways we might never expect. Listen as Pastor Kevin Pobursky guides us though Acts 9:36-43 to show us how a godly woman can leave a lasting impact for Christ! 

On Mother's Day, Hannah talks about one of our most beloved characters, Dorcas.

On this Mother's Day, we're invited to expand our understanding of motherhood beyond societal norms. The sermon draws from Psalm 1 and Acts 9:36-43, reminding us that true happiness comes from following God's instruction, not worldly advice. We're challenged to see motherhood through a biblical lens, recognizing the diverse experiences of mothers in Scripture - from Eve to Mary. These stories teach us that there's no 'perfect' way to be a mother; instead, it's about loving and caring for others, regardless of biological ties. The story of Dorcas in Acts beautifully illustrates this, showing how one can be a 'mother' through acts of kindness and compassion. This message encourages us to celebrate all women who nurture and care for others, reminding us that we're all loved by our Creator, regardless of our circumstances.

First Reading: Psalm 23  Second Reading: Acts 9:36-43    Sermon: Dorcas  Preaching: Pastor Jen  

The Fourth Sunday of Easter The First Lesson Acts 9:36-43 Now in Joppa there was a disciple whose name was Tabitha, which in Greek is Dorcas. She was devoted to good works and acts of charity. At that time she became ill and died. When they had washed her, they laid her in a room upstairs. Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, who heard that Peter was there, sent two men to him with the request, "Please come to us without delay." So Peter got up and went with them; and when he arrived, they took him to the room upstairs. All the widows stood beside him, weeping and showing tunics and other clothing that Dorcas had made while she was with them. Peter put all of them outside, and then he knelt down and prayed. He turned to the body and said, "Tabitha, get up." Then she opened her eyes, and seeing Peter, she sat up. He gave her his hand and helped her up. Then calling the saints and widows, he showed her to be alive. This became known throughout Joppa, and many believed in the Lord. Meanwhile he stayed in Joppa for some time with a certain Simon, a tanner. The Psalm Psalm 23 Dominus regit me 1 The Lord is my shepherd; * I shall not be in want. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures * and leads me beside still waters. 3 He revives my soul * and guides me along right pathways for his Name's sake. 4 Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil; * for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 5 You spread a table before me in the presence of those who trouble me; * you have anointed my head with oil, and my cup is running over. 6 Surely your goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, * and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. The Epistle Revelation 7:9-17 I looked, and there was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, robed in white, with palm branches in their hands. They cried out in a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb!” And all the angels stood around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, singing, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever!  Amen.” Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, "Who are these, robed in white, and where have they come from?" I said to him, "Sir, you are the one that knows." Then he said to me, "These are they who have come out of the great ordeal; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. For this reason they are before the throne of God, and worship him day and night within his temple,  and the one who is seated on the throne will shelter them. They will hunger no more, and thirst no more; the sun will not strike them,  nor any scorching heat; for the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of the water of life, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes." The Gospel John 10:22-30 At that time the festival of the Dedication took place in Jerusalem. It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the portico of Solomon. So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, "How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly." Jesus answered, "I have told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name testify to me; but you do not believe, because you do not belong to my sheep. My sheep hear my voice. I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one will snatch them out of my hand. What my Father has given me is greater than all else, and no one can snatch it out of the Father's hand. The Father and I are one."

The gift of new life, of eternal life, is the gift of the risen Christ. It is the promise of Jesus. It was true for Dorcas in Joppa. It was true for those “who have come out of the great ordeal” in the Revelation vision. It is true for us and for all the baptized: Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.Scripture Reading: Acts 9:36-43; Revelation 7:9-17; John 10:22-30

Todas las viudas se presentaron, llorando y mostrándole las túnicas y otros vestidos que Dorcas había hecho cuando aún estaba con ellas. Hechos 9:39 Dorcas había pasado su vida como sirvienta. Ella era una seguidora de Cristo que estaba “llena de buenas obras y limosnas” (Hechos 9:36) que realizaba continuamente. La Escritura no detalla sus obras, pero sabemos que ella cosía abrigos y vestidos y se ocupaba de muchas viudas. Ella era el tipo de mujer que podría haber “trabajado hasta la muerte”. Las personas como Dorcas a menudo están tan ocupadas cuidando a los demás que no se preocupan por sí mismas. Por supuesto, no podemos decir eso con certeza sobre Dorcas. Pero definitivamente sabemos que cuando ella murió, mucha gente se afligió. Y cuando oyeron que el apóstol Pedro estaba cerca, le pidieron que viniera, aparentemente creyendo que podía resucitar a los muertos. Eso es exactamente lo que hizo Pedro. A través de su oración, resucitó a Dorcas y la devolvió al servicio. Dorcas había dado su vida para servir a Dios, y Dios se la había devuelto. “Porque todo el que quiera salvar su vida, la perderá; y el que pierda su vida por mí, la encontrará” (Mateo 16:25). Cuando das tu vida para servir a los demás, estás honrando a Dios y encontrando la vida. 

Prisca Dorcas Mojica Rodríguez was born into a large, close-knit family in Nicaragua. She explores the complex dynamics of strong, resilient women in her book Tías and Primas. In this follow-up to For Brown Girls with Sharp Edges and Tender Hearts, she delves into intergenerational trauma, colonization, and sexism, offering a heartfelt tribute to family, community, and Latinas everywhere.

The year was AD33 when we read in Acts 9 of the conversion of Saul of Tarsus. Saul is seeking to destroy the believers in Christ who dwelt in Damascus. Saul presses on as the fierce Syrian sun burns brightly in the sky. Saul is blinded by a light stronger than the sun and he is stirred by a voice that he may well have known, “Saul, Saul why are you persecuting me?” The Syriac Pashito, whose phrase, “It is hard for you to kick against the goads” is added to the English KJV. Saul's response is, “Who are you Lord?” With his eyes blinded and his mind in total turmoil and his entire world view turned upside down (as would be said of him in Acts 17:6) he is led by the hand into the city to await instructions. For three days Saul neither ate nor drank. Ananias is told to go to Saul to lay hands on him to recover Saul's sight. Ananias is further told of Saul's mission which Almighty God has marked out for him. Saul is a chosen vessel to take Christ's message before kings. Ananias goes to the street which ironically named “Straight”. Ramsay says in his book that it was the most crooked street in all Damascus. Ananias courageously lays his hands on Saul and restores his sight and imparts to Saul the Holy Spirit. Saul preaches Jesus in the Damascene synagogues to the astonishment of all. From there Saul goes to Jerusalem and seeks association with the believers, who shun him believing that Saul is using a ruse to get among them. Respite from persecution is granted to the ecclesias. Peter heals Aeneas at Lydda slightly inland from Joppa; then at Joppa he is shown the clothes that Dorcas had made for the widows and orphans before her decease. Peter raises her to life to continue her work and from there Peter he goes to the house of Simon the tanner. We might pose a question: Did Peter go to the house of a tanner to prepare himself to accept that ceremonial uncleanness was no longer relevant as we will see in our reading tomorrow from Acts 10?

Katherine reluctantly goes to church to be married, only to learn through an elaborate pantomime performed by Grumio and Biondello that Petruchio is running late. Finally, a drunk priest arrives with Petruchio, who is dressed as a gondolier. They make a mockery of the wedding but a humiliated Katherine is nonetheless sent off with her new husband by her clueless father, who reminisces fondly about young love. The newlyweds eventually arrive at Petruchio's frigid home in the pouring rain, where he tells her that he lives selflessly in poverty with seven penitents who share his bed and follow elaborate rituals before eating. Katherine nearly goes mad with hunger as Petruchio demands that they follow every step of the ritual before dining on the food delivered by the kitchen mistress, Dorcas. At last, Katherine realizes it's all a joke and she devours her food with joy and laughter. Once sated, she tells Petruchio she's going upstairs to get ready to lose her virginity to him, but Petruchio tells her he has no intention of making love to her until she is well rested and truly wants to be with him. It only makes Katherine more attracted to him, but Petruchio insists that she get a good night's sleep as he privately confesses to feeling the rekindling of his long dormant passion.  The PLAY ON PODCAST SERIES, “SHREW!”, was written by AMY FREED and directed by ART MANKE.

Acts 9:36 - 11:18 As we continue in Acts, we follow some of Peter's travels. After the healing of Aeneas and the resurrection of Dorcas, we find Peter praying, when he's presented with a vision from the Lord. At the same time, an angel of the Lord appears to a Roman centurion named Cornelius. Each man responded in faith and followed the leading of the Holy Spirit to meet each other. From that experience, Peter and the Church leaders realized that all the world could receive salvation through Jesus.

Joppa's Miracle: Dorcas Raised to Life - Scott Graham

Tabitha has died and her friends rush to find Peter because they know that He acts like Jesus, Who raised people from the dead. “There was a believer in Joppa named Tabitha (which in Greek is Dorcas). She was always doing kind things for others and helping the poor. About this time she became ill and died. Her body was washed for burial and laid in an upstairs room. But the believers had heard that Peter was nearby at Lydda, so they sent two men to beg him, “Please come as soon as possible!” So Peter returned with them; and as soon as he arrived, they took him to the upstairs room. The room was filled with widows who were weeping and showing him the coats and other clothes Dorcas had made for them. But Peter asked them all to leave the room; then he knelt and prayed. Turning to the body he said, “Get up, Tabitha.” And she opened her eyes! When she saw Peter, she sat up! He gave her his hand and helped her up. Then he called in the widows and all the believers, and he presented her to them alive.” ‭‭Acts of the Apostles‬ ‭9‬:‭36‬-‭41‬ ‭NLT‬‬ (originally aired 7/15/20) #kids, #biblestoriesforkids, #storiesforkids,#bedtimestoriesforkids, #storiesforchristiankids, #biblelessonsforkids, #bestronginthelord, #jesushealedthemall, #faithpleasesgod, #courage, #faith, #fearnotforgodiswithyou, #fearnot, #overcomefear, #fishbytesforkids, #fishbytes4kids, #fishbites4kids, #ronandcarriewebb, #roncarriewebb

Acts 9:32-10:48 - Speaker: Lukus Counterman - Now as Peter went here and there among them all, he came down also to the saints who lived at Lydda. There he found a man named Aeneas, bedridden for eight years, who was paralyzed. And Peter said to him, "Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you; rise and make your bed." And immediately he rose. And all the residents of Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord. Now there was in Joppa a disciple named Tabitha, which, translated, means Dorcas. She was full of good works and acts of charity. In those days she became ill and died, and when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room. Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, urging him, "Please come to us without delay." So Peter rose and went with them. And when he arrived, they took him to the upper room. All the widows stood beside him weeping and showing tunics and other garments that Dorcas made while she was with them. But Peter put them all outside, and knelt down and prayed; and turning to the body he said, "Tabitha, arise." And she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter she sat up. And he gave her his hand and raised her up. Then, calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive. And it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord. And he stayed in Joppa for many days with one Simon, a tanner.

Dorcas Hoover. The Victor's Crown of Glory takes the reader to the frontlines of the battle in the Middle East where God's miraculous power is displayed in the midst of evil. Stories of God at work in the 21st Century feel as if they come straight from the book of Acts. Gripping accounts showcase daring, modern day heroes of the faith risking all to follow Jesus in the face of radical ISIS terrorism, kidnappings, bombs, secret police, and imprisonment. The book is filled with heartwarming eyewitness accounts of miracles of God at work in the midst of the darkest, most dangerous of circumstances.

January 7th: Dorcas Kelly Dies (1761) Sometimes a story takes on a life of its own. On January 7th 1761 a woman was executed in Dublin for one crime and one crime only. Yet, as centuries passed, this woman's story took on a whole new life of its own and created a version of events that, though entertaining, leaves the difference between fact and fiction more than a little muddled. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darkey_Kelly, https://spellcasterghosttours.com/darkey-kelly/, https://www.syfy.com/syfy-wire/darkey-kelly-witch-serial-killer-or-wronged-woman, https://www.irishlegal.com/articles/irish-legal-heritage-the-execution-of-dorcas-kelly Learn more about your ad choices.
