     | 2,397 views

    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

    A Candidate For An Extreme Makeover

     | 3,228 views

    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

    Change In Vision Series

    Contributed by Dr. Madana Kumar, Phd on Jun 20, 2022
     | 2,710 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.

    Grant Me Wisdom Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Aug 7, 2022
     | 2,370 views

    God, grant me the wisdom to know the difference … and, as we shall see, therein lies the problem. I don’t know about you, but I usually don’t know the difference and I usually do the most harm to myself and to others when I think that I do.

    [This is the third sermon on Reinhold Niebuhr's "The Serenity Prayer," asking God to grant us the wisdom to know what to accept and what to change. This was also preached on Communion Sunday, hence the lead up to Communion at the end.] Wisdom. What is wisdom? Well, let’s ...read more

     | 4,560 views

    Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. This Part concludes the single message on those points from John 14:6. The truth of verse 6 must be upheld in our churches but some have succumbed. Now we have PART 2 of this message.

    “I AM THE WAY AND THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE” - PRESENTATION IN THE “I AM SERIES OF JOHN’S GOSPEL” PART 2 We will continue with this message that is all one delivery in a Seminar.

     | 1,061 views

    When you are knocked off your feet, blind with tears or pain or even a light like the one Paul saw, the first thing to do is seek God.

    This has been a bad week. It started with one of the worst tragedies that has ever hit our country. Only wars, terrorist attacks and natural disasters have caused more anguish, more grief and suffering and loss, and more questions about providence and the presence - or absence - of God.

    Saul! Saul! Why are you persecuting me?

    Saul's Conversion Series

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Aug 27, 2023
     | 1,539 views

    Saul's conversion shows us that God can reach anyone and change anyone. Ananias' acceptance of Saul is a wonderful example. And Paul's reflection on the event reminds us of just how important it is to be baptized.

    I don’t often think about Nottingham. I can’t remember ever visiting it. It’s 200 miles away and we haven’t had reason to go there. But Nottingham is an up-and-coming city.

     | 1,804 views

    In Acts chapter 9, when Saul is persecuting the church, we see the Holy Spirit revealed, as prophesied in the Book of Joel.

    A loud, overwhelming voice echoed from the sky ‘WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME?’ Saul, the persecutor of God’s people is blinded by a bright light. The zealous man who was persecuting God’s people was suddenly stopped. The message from Jesus to the oppressor is clear; ‘You mess with my people; ...read more
