Lesson Description

People in the early church loved each other with a kind of love that does not exist among people who do not know God. In a town called Joppa lived a Christian lady named Dorcas. She loved to help and serve others. Everyone in the town loved her.

One day, Dorcas became sick, and she soon died. Peter was in the nearby town of Lydda, and the believers in Joppa sent for him, asking him to come and help in any way he could. Peter did come to Joppa, and God used him to bring Dorcas, who also was called Tabitha, back to life.

The people who knew Dorcas were overjoyed that God had restored her life. News about this miracle spread all over town, and many people believed in Jesus because of what God had done. The number of people in the church continued to grow each day.

It was unusual even in the days of the early church for someone who had died to be restored to life. It is clear that God wanted people everywhere to know that He was working in special ways among His people—the people who made up the church. The People in the Church Loved One Another Bible lesson for older preschoolers is about Dorcas’ restoration and teaches that God wants me to love others.
