In our sermon study last week we unpacked the amazing story of the conversion that was experienced by the young Pharisee named Saul as it is recorded in Acts 9. In this story we find the dramatic contrasts in the life of someone before they met Jesus compared to their...

Our last sermon-study concluded with the religious rulers exploding into a rage, ‘furiously gnashing their teeth’ as Stephen wrapped up his speech. Once again, the spotlight shone brightly on them as the ones who had killed the Messiah. Their anger was so great that...
