    Are You Ashamed Of The Gospel?

    Contributed by Jason Smith on Sep 25, 2013
     | 6,987 views

    Paul said that He was not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Can we say the same? Do we show that we are not ashamed how Paul did?

    INTRO I believe one of the greatest evidences of Jesus Christ are the changed lives of the men that we see in the scriptures that claimed to see our resurrected Lord. The greatest of these accounts I believe is the change in the life of Saul of Taurus, later known as the Apostle Paul. We learn in ...read more

    Paul Vs Stephen (About The Resurrection Of Jesus)

    Contributed by Je Layugan on Oct 17, 2023
     | 1,637 views

    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
