Let Her Rest

Passage: Acts 9:36-43 NRSVUE
Service Type:

Tabitha, also known as Dorcas, was a disciple whose hands held the church together—quietly, faithfully, without applause. When she dies, her community doesn’t just mourn; they testify to her love. And yet, we keep asking women like her to keep rising, to keep carrying the weight. This sermon honors the “Tabithas” among us and asks what it might look like to say: Rest now. We’ve got it. The story of resurrection continues—not just through miracles, but through legacy.
