    The Tough Path Of The New Believer

    Contributed by Jon Mackinney on May 4, 2006
    based on 10 ratings
     | 6,645 views

    Saul was an unusual convert, to be sure. But perhaps he can serve as an example of the things the new believers go through when they come to Christ. And we can also find out how we can encourage them by reaching out like Barnabas did.

    Passage: Acts 9:19-31 Intro: There are times in our lives when we undergo dramatic change. 1. moving, starting a new school, a new job. 2. many factors in these changes, but one of the most powerful is the change in relationships. 3. separate from old friends, perhaps struggle to make new ...read more

     | 15,581 views

    Message given to graduates encouraging them to keep their eyes on Christ. It demonstrates how God could transform a persecutor of the church into a preacher for Christ.

    From Persecutor to Preacher Pressing Toward the Mark… Last week, we started a series on the Apostle Paul. If you will recall, prior to his conversion on the road to Damascus, Paul was one of the most feared person within the Christian church. He, being a Pharisee, sought to persecute this new ...read more

    This is a look at Sauls conversion on the road to Damascus and the consequences.

    The lamp post experience (conversion) "Have you ever had a lamp post experience?" What do I mean by that? Well you know your walking down the street and then out of nowhere a lamppost appears and your walk straight into it." Saul would hit something far bigger than a lamp post, on his way to ...read more

     | 9,067 views

    Tne calling of Paul shows us that Christians have a new status to celebrate - as God’s chosen instruments; A new service to carry out - chosen to carry his name; And a new suffering confront – chosen to serve despite the difficulties.

    INTRODUCTION You have been saved to serve. Every Believer can live out their potential by accepting their responsibility to serve. There are three responsibilities ... 1. A NEW STATUS TO CELEBRATE (v15a) In the movie “The Freshman” Matthew Broderick plays the part of Clark Kellogg. He travels to ...read more

    based on 60 ratings
     | 7,293 views

    When new people come into the church they need attention just as Saul needed it. Let’s think about specific needs they have. 1- They need acceptance 2- They need protection 3- They need patience 4- They need instruction

    INTRO.- How were you treated the first time you ever came to church? Obviously, if you were raised in the church as a child, more than likely, you were treated well. Of course, if a certain little child comes to the preacher, looks up at him and says, "You have a big belly." That child WILL NOT ...read more

    Paul’s Conversion on the Road to Damascus

     | 3,826 views

    Hands open may be a handshake or a salute, signalling friendship or respect. Just as those gestures affirmed Saul, we also must approach others by leading them to safety and by affirming their potential.

    f I come toward you with an open hand, what does that mean? If I approach you from across the room with either one hand or both hands open, how would you interpret that? Well, of course, it would mean different things for different kinds of open hands. There is more than one way to be ...read more

    Paul made some important discoveries that day on the road to Damascus about the inescapable One whom he was kicking against.

    Acts 9:1-9 "It is hard for thee to kick against the pricks" Jesus seems to be saying that fighting against him and his Gospel results in self-injury In a cathedral in New York is a gallery that is surrounded by a series of panels.
