Title: No Little People
Text: Acts 9:23-42
In his book, "No Little People," theologian Francis Schaeffer remarked that, "we must remember throughout our lives that in God's sight there are no little people and no little places." As we continue to study the Book of Acts together, it's important that we take a moment to consider just how especially true his statement is. So far in the book we've seen the mighty acts of God in and through Peter, John, Stephen, Phillip, and even Paul. But in our passage this week we have the opportunity to see just how powerful God is as He works in and through lesser known followers of Jesus like Barnabas, Aeneas, and Dorcas. Join us as we hear God's Word preached and are encouraged to live faithfully in light of God's grace and special calling on each and every one of our lives.
