    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.

[In fact let’s listen to them now.] First Stephen retells the story of the Jewish people and the members of ...read more

    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
