Places
Joppa in Acts 9
JOP-uh
This place shows up in Acts 9:36: “Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which when translated, means Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and acts…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Acts 9:36
“Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which when translated, means Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and acts of mercy which she did.”
What kids can learn
When you hear joppa in Acts, remember the sentence around it. God put this place in the story on purpose.
Read Acts 9:36 again tomorrow and ask what the place is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
