Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Sep 26, 2023

Warn against the danger of idolatry, emphasizing that it's not just about worshipping physical idols, but anything that takes the rightful place of God in our hearts, and to encourage believers to examine their lives for any such idols.

Easy As Falling Off Your Horse

Contributed by Austin Mansfield on Jun 3, 2007

We, like Paul, as followers of Christ, Christians, are sent to the Gentiles of our time: secular humanists, moral relativists, materialists, even atheists, to open their eyes, like Saul’s were opened by Ananias, so they may turn from darkness to light.

In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen. Today we celebrate the Apostle Paul’s conversion. As Saul Paulus of Tarsus, he was a rising star in the rabbinical leadership of the time. When Saint Stephen was stoned to death as the first Christian martyr, Paul stood by, ...read more

"Grasping The Great Prize – Horse Race”

Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Sep 5, 2020

How To Tell A Horse From A Cow Series
