    The Greatest Conversion

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 29, 2022
     | 3,068 views

    The conversion of the apostle Paul is one of the most thrilling and inspiring conversions we have ever heard about.

    Today the modern churches talk about DECISIONS, not CONVERSIONS! Illus: Someone said to a preacher, “Did you have any decisions last week?” The preacher said, “Yes, I had lots of them. Some DECIDED to go to the mountains and some DECIDED they would go to the beach instead of coming to ...read more

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Apr 29, 2022
     | 1,522 views

    How do you think it must have taken Saul by surprise to think that he was doing the Lord a favor persecuting Christians when he got chastised by the Lord Jesus Christ?

    Vetting S(P)aul Text: Acts 9: 1 -15 Act 9:1-15  Meanwhile Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest  (2)  and asked him for letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any who belonged to the Way, men or women, ...read more

    Do You Understand What You Are Reading?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 30, 2022
     | 1,927 views

    We read Scripture because we want to know more about God and His plan for us. But do we really understand?

    Thursday of the 3rd week in Easter It is no surprise that whenever someone is reading from the OT during NT times, he is probably reading from an Isaiah scroll. The only time that Jesus gave His disciples an extensive Bible lesson, He began with Moses and then the prophets and asked “was it not ...read more

    When you live in fear, it will often appear in a sense of seeking power and control. When you encounter Jesus, you will find peace!

    INTRODUCTION: How will I introduce the message? When you live in fear, it will often appear in a sense of seeking power and control. When you encounter Jesus, you will find peace! There are four great impelling motives that move us to action: Fear, Hope, Faith, and Love —these four, but the ...read more

    Passing Through

     | 3,282 views

    Today we look at another Deacon who never identifies himself as a Deacon; We must consider this Evangelist who never identifies himself as a Preacher; the bible says of him only that he was filled with the Holy Ghost and today that he is just passing through!

    Acts 8:35-40 (NKJV) “Passing Through” June 5, 2022 This is not our home, we are just passing through! In John 15, Jesus said that “we are not of the world,” because He chose us out of the world! Peter said we are “strangers and pilgrims!” in this world (1 Peter 2:11). Paul said in ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,052 views

    Two aspects stand out when we study encounters with God. One is that it is always a personal one-to-one experience. The second is that it results in significant changes in our lives.

    Change In Vision Series

    Contributed by Dr. Madana Kumar, Phd on Jun 20, 2022
     | 2,981 views

    When we have an encounter with God, changes happen. The first thing to change is our vision, our purpose in life. It is fascinating to study how the vision of Paul changed every time he had an encounter with God. It can happen to you. It will happen to you.

    Encounter with God Series Part 3 Your Vision Changes when you encounter God A Video version of this sermon can be found at https://youtu.be/FftAW4i9e_Q Good morning and welcome.

    Confirmation

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jun 21, 2022
     | 2,066 views

    Is confirmation biblical? Does it have anything to do with the biblical doctrine of laying on of hands?

    Infant baptism is neither mandated nor forbidden in the New Testament but has forerunners in the Old Testament. In adult baptism, water and laying on of hands occur as one ceremony. Infant baptism often separates the use of water and laying on of hands by many years. The author of Hebrews teaches ...read more

    Rapid growth, constant persecution and limited resources made the Apostles rethink their future and the future of the church. They reorganized their ministry team to maximze their efficiency and effectiveness. Let;s see how!

    Sermon Restructuring The Church For Expansion Acts 8:1-8 “Saul was one of the witnesses, and he agreed completely with the killing of Stephen.

    Saul’s encounter with Jesus is an iconic turning point for him. Saul, who thought his eyes were wide open to the threat of the Jesus people, is now blinded and led into Damascus.

    Life Lessons From the Chief of Sinners Accept the Truth Acts 9:1-19 Introduction Last week we talked about the brutal and vicious persecution of the man from Tarsus. His hatred for followers of Jesus was frightening to the believers of that day. In spite of his great familiarity with the Hebrew ...read more

    In his misguided thinking, Saul thought that he was fighting for God. We need an extreme makeover when our actions are fighting against God and innocent people, yet we think we are fighting for God.

    Sermon: A Candidate For An Extreme Makeover Scripture Lesson: Acts 9:1-19 “Meanwhile, Saul was uttering threats with every breath and was eager to kill the Lord’s followers. So he went to the high priest. 2 He requested letters addressed to the synagogues in Damascus, asking for their cooperation ...read more

    A Lesson In Evangelism From Philip And The Ethiopian Eunuch

    Contributed by Paul Green on May 18, 2022
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,341 views

    When Philip introduces the Ethopian Eunuch to Jesus – he does it God’s way. Philip wasn't an Apostle like Peter, a missionary like Paul, or a pastor like Timothy. He was a deacon, a servant of the church, an ordinary, average man who just couldn’t keep God to himself.

    There was a man on a business trip and when he checked in he was given one of the middle seats on the airplane. He was tired and he all he wanted to do was sleep, so he got a little bit irritated when the young girl sat next to him started to ask questions: “Mister, do you brush your teeth?” “Yes,” ...read more
