Called by Name: Hearing the Voice of Jesus in Life and Death

In this moving sermon, Deacon Debra explores the power of hearing our name called—by baristas, by parents, by God. Rooted in Acts 9 and John 10, the message centers on Tabitha, the only woman in Scripture explicitly called a female disciple. Her resurrection, like the healing of the paralyzed man, reminds us that God's voice can call us back to life, even from death. With rich personal reflections and deep theological insight, Debra invites us to trust that we, too, will one day hear Jesus say: “Get up.”
