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.

Paul Vs Stephen (About The Resurrection Of Jesus)

Contributed by Je Layugan on Oct 17, 2023

Paul and his friends could not win an argument against Stephen. In the end, Paul had an epiphany which lies in the understanding that God's love extends not only to Stephen and those he once persecuted but encompasses everyone, including himself.

First, I am praying that at the end of this sermon, 1. We would have the desire to experience the deepest significance of Jesus’ resurrection in our lives. 2. We will never think of Paul’s story and Easter, the same way again. [PAUL/SAUL] • Paul was born, in about the same year or a little later ...read more

What Changed? Series

Contributed by Ricky Tuttle Thd on Feb 13, 2025

I often say, “If there has been no change, then there was no change.” Which means when Christ enters into the life of a new believer then their life will make some changes.

“What Changed?” Acts 9:17-22 I often say, “If there has been no change, then there was no change.” Which means when Christ enters into the life of a new believer then their life will make some changes. Yet if there is only a prayer that could be called, “fire insurance” with no repentance, there ...read more

Sermon; The Pentecost Effect - Paul’s Encounter On The Road To Damascus

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jun 18, 2024

Misguided zeal is dangerous. The things that most threaten the Gospel and the abundance and freedom in Jesus Christ are caused by misguided zeal. Some things may appear to be good, maybe even seem godly, yet stand in the way of the gospel.

Sermon: Paul’s Encounter on the Road to Damascus Scripture: Acts 9:1-11 “Meanwhile, Saul was uttering threats with every breath and was eager to kill the Lord’s followers.

Total Surrender - The Transformation Of Saul To Paul

Contributed by Dr. Jonathan Vorce on Jul 5, 2024

Have you ever wondered what "Total Surrender" looks like? Through the Saul-Paul story, we learn that true surrender involves giving up control and submitting our will, thoughts, desires, and ambitions to God.

Acts 9:1-19 Total surrender is a foundational aspect of our spiritual journey. It requires us to fully trust in God and align our hearts, desires, thoughts, and beliefs with His will. This process is not easy, but the rewards are immeasurable. One powerful example of complete surrender can be seen ...read more

Leading Of The Holy Spirit

Contributed by Samuel M on Jul 9, 2024

The New Testament church did not have technology such as telephones to communicate across long or short distances when there was an urgent need. It had the leading of the Holy Spirit. When people were in desperate need of prayer, the Holy Spirit would lead certain people to pray for them.

Sermon # 8 - El-Shaddai, Our Almighty God Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jul 26, 2024

God revealed Himself to Abraham as the El-Shaddai, God Almighty who can do wonders and miracles for those who trust in Him. The life of Abraham, Joseph, Paul will truly encourage us to trust this Almighty God and walk blamelessly before Him.

We read in Genesis 17:1, When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to him and said, "I am the Almighty God. Obey me and always do what is right.
