About this listen

We’ve been working through the book of Acts, and we’ve seen how the apostles took seriously Jesus’ command to go and make disciples. We have tracked the gospel going out from Jerusalem into Judea and Samaria. We met Saul (Paul) who, following his dramatic conversion, begins to preach the gospel in Damascus and Jerusalem. But, for now, Saul, having travelled to safety in Tarsus, leaves the stage, and the focus shifts back to Peter, as he travels about the region encouraging the believers. We now come to two stories where God used Peter mightily, first to heal a man who had been paralysed for eight years; and second, to raise a Christian woman from the dead. We need to ask, and try to answer, why Luke included these two stories. And we need to ask what it means for us today.

Preacher: Jim de Witte

Passage: Acts 9:32-43
