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.
