The Light Of Life Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Aug 24, 2004

the light of the gospel impacted on Saul in a way that would lead in the end to the gospel being proclaimed all the way to Rome, to the centre of the Roman Empire, in fact in the Emperor’s palace itself.

It’s interesting to notice, as we read through these chapters of Acts, from 7 to 10, how there’s a theme of blindness and sight, so reminiscent of the words of Jesus at the end of John 9. [In fact let’s listen to them now.] First Stephen retells the story of the Jewish people and the members of ...read more

School Supplies

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 17, 2003

Drama dialogue, written as if a conversation between Paul, a tribune, and a narrator, with "chorus" lines for the children of the congregation. Supplies we need for learning are a listening mind, a loving heart, and a desire to grow.

You see, Paul – actually we knew his name as Saul – Paul had been such a mighty force in our community only a few short ...read more

Paul's Testimony Is Our Testimony

Contributed by Jon Mackinney on Jun 7, 2007

Here is Paul, on trial for his life, giving a beautiful witness to the life-changing power of God. But it is not his testimony alone, but the same one that each believer might be able to give.

Passage: Acts 25-26 Intro: It’s easy to compare ourselves to the Apostle Paul and feel inferior. 1. in sheer determination and self- sacrifice, his example seems unattainable. 2. so we sigh, our shoulders slump, and we continue living with the vague thought that there should be more. 3. I ...read more

We start at one point and end up at the opposite end. Well, Saul is heading down the road to Damascus from Jerusalem, ...read more
