Acts to The Future: Acts 9 | Pastor Telvin Howe by Lifehouse
Listen along as we continue our series through the book of Acts. Notes//Quotes: Acts 9:1-31 - Larry/Jorgen Grace is something you can never get but can only be given. There's no way to earn it or deserve it or bring it about any more than you can deserve the taste of raspberries and cream or earn good looks or bring about your own birth. A good sleep is grace and so are good dreams. Most tears are grace. The smell of rain is grace. Somebody loving you is grace. Loving somebody is grace. A crucial eccentricity of the Christian faith is the assertion that people are saved by grace. There's nothing you have to do. The grace of God means something like: "Here is your life. You might never have been, but you are, because the party wouldn't have been complete without you. Here is the world. Beautiful and terrible things will happen. Don't be afraid. I am with you. Nothing can ever separate us. It's for you I created the universe. I love you.” There's only one catch. Like any other gift, the gift of grace can be yours only if you'll reach out and take it. Maybe being able to reach out and take it is a gift too. - Frederick Buechner Gradually, and without violence, Jesus pricked Saul's mind and conscience with his goads. Then he revealed Himself to him by the light and the voice, not in order to overwhelm him, but in such a way as to enable him to make a free response. Divine grace does not trample on human personality. Rather the reverse, for it enables human beings to be truly human. It is sin which imprisons; it is grace which liberates. The grace of God so frees us from the bondage of our pride, prejudice and self-centeredness, as to enable us to repent and believe. One can but magnify the grace of God that he should have had mercy on such a rabid bigot as Saul of Tarsus, and indeed on such proud, rebellious and wayward creatures as ourselves. - John Stott I fled Him, down the nights and down the days; I fled Him, down the arches of the years; I fled Him, down the labyrinthine ways Of my own mind; and in the mist of tears I hid from Him, and under running laughter. Up vistaed hopes I sped; And shot, precipitated, Adown Titanic glooms of chasmèd fears, From those strong Feet that followed, followed after. But with unhurrying chase, And unperturbèd pace, Deliberate speed, majestic instancy, They beat—and a Voice beat More instant than the Feet— ‘All things betray thee, who betrayest Me Francis Thompson, The Hound of Heaven Romans 10:14 “Put all this together, and what do we have, as the central, shaping marker of the new worldview, taking the place and bearing the weight that the Jewish symbols had borne within the worldview of Saul of Tarsus? We have precisely the gospel, the euangelion, the ‘good news', rooted in the ‘good news' spoken of in the Great Prophet, confronting the ‘good news' carved in stone around Caesar's empire. We have the symbol by which Paul declared that he was himself defined, the anchor of his own vocational mindset: Paul, an apostle, set apart for the good news of God; I am not ashamed of the good news, because it is God's power for salvation to all who believe; the Messiah did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel; woe to me if I do not announce the good news; I do it all for the sake of the good news; let me remind you of the gospel which I announced to you, which you received, in which you stand firm, through which you are saved; the gospel of the glory of the Messiah, who is the image of God. The gospel, the gospel, the gospel. It defined Paul. It defined his work. It defined his communities. It was the shorthand summary of the theology which, in turn, was the foundation for the central pillar for the new worldview. It carried God's power. That was just as well: the worldview, and those who lived by it, were going to need it.” NT Wright “Grace is God acting in our life to bring about, and to enable us to do, what we cannot do on our own. Grace is for all of life and not just for forgiveness. Grace is not opposed to effort (action)-though it is opposed to earning (attitude). Grace is inextricably bound up with discipline in the life of the disciple or apprentice of Jesus. “Grace,” of course, as an active agency in the psychological and biological reality of the disciple.” - Dallas Willard Eph 1:7-10 What you need to drive out an old passion, is a new passion, a greater passion. What you need is an over-mastering positive passion. To the degree, that you see Jesus on the cross, loosing absolutely everything for you, He will become a beauty to you, He will become so beautiful in your eyes that you'll be able to change these things that control you now, they'll loose their power. Do you know how to work on your heart like that? It's only by rejoicing in and resting in what Jesus Christ has done for you. Then you can replace your idols. And if you really want to change and want to pound the Gospel more deeply into your heart - Jesus Christ must become your over-mastering positive passion. Tim Keller All which I took from thee I did but take, Not for thy harms, But just that thou might'st seek it in My arms. All which thy child's mistake Fancies as lost, I have stored for thee at home: Rise, clasp My hand, and come!' Francis Thompson, Hound of Heaven

A soldier needs a bulletproof vest that's crafted from top-notch materials. If he's rocking a fake vest or none at all, that soldier's putting himself in serious danger, even from a less powerful weapon. Just like that, when you're out sharing the gospel, you might run into some pushback and rejection from folks you encounter. If you're feeling a bit spiritually and mentally fragile, it can really hit you hard when things go south. In today's message, Pastor Mark talks about the importance of having a strong will and a heart that's ready for anything. Even when rejection comes knocking, you can keep your faith strong and unwavering!

Luke Pereira - preached at Winmalee @ 9 and Springwood @ 11 churches on 20th July, 2025.
When you open a toolbox, do you expect to see twenty identical screwdrivers? Or would it make more sense to see a variety of tools, each one suited for a different kind of job? In the Kingdom of God, people with different talents and different gifts are assigned to all kinds of roles to accomplish the work of the Gospel. In today's message, Pastor Mark wants you to realize that comparison is a dangerous game. If you focus on how God is using other people around you, it can make you lose sight of the purpose that God has given specifically to you. You have a calling on your life that only you can fulfill.
Your life isn't a surprise to God! Think of all of the struggles and trials you've gone through in this life. Think of the things that have gone wrong since you woke up this morning. God knew everything that would happen to you on your journey today, and yet He chose you for such a time and place as this. Pastor Mark reminds you today that God uses people from unusual backgrounds and circumstances to do unusually great things for the Kingdom! God isn't concerned with your skillset or your work history. He is concerned with one thing in particular: your willingness to say “Yes” to the things He calls you to do.
If you've ever seen someone bungee jump, you know that the guide will lead the jumper to the edge of a platform, but then allow them to take the leap of faith on their own. God wants you to take the leap of faith in your own life, trusting in Him to bring you safely through the ordeal set in front of you. Pastor Mark teaches you today that God will sometimes require you to show proof that you trust in Him. Many times, this is done by putting you in a situation where you have to make that first step. By trusting in God, like you trust in a bungee jump guide, you prove that your trust in Him is greater than your fear of falling.
Main idea: Walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit brings Gospel growth. 1. The Persecution of Saul 2. The Ministry of Peter
Have you ever seen a potato grow? Well, you probably haven't because they grow completely underground! It's impossible to tell how a potato is growing because it needs to stay in the ground to properly form. You need to have faith that everything is going as it should be, even if you can't see the results until the harvest. Pastor Mark wants you to realize today that Saul was one of those people who didn't produce fruit immediately. Instead, the word of God worked deep into his soul, and over time, he was made into a new creation. An encounter with Jesus changed the trajectory of Saul's life, as he became the Apostle Paul.
In this message, Pastor Jason kicks off our new series, Encounters, by looking at the radical transformation of Saul in Acts 9. He reminds us that Jesus is still in the business of interrupting lives, changing hearts, and sending people out with purpose. Through the story of Saul's encounter with Jesus, we're challenged to reflect on our own moments of transformation and consider how God might want to use us to bring others into proximity with Him. If you've been feeling stuck or distant, this message will encourage you to seek a fresh encounter with Jesus — one that doesn't just change you but leads you to change the world around you.

As we learn from Peter doing the work of God, let's ask ourselves, “Am I doing the work of God?” It doesn't have to match Peter’s exactly. Another question related to this can be, “Am I hindering the work of God?” This can also be happening. In our previous study we looked at Saul’s conversion […]
Main idea: God sovereignly sets the assignment for his servants God confounds Saul God calls Ananias God converts Saul Discussion Questions: 1. Saul was passionate, disciplined, and sincere—but still wrong. How can we guard ourselves from sincerely following the wrong path? 2. What does this story teach us about God's sovereignty and His right to interrupt our lives? 3. “Man is God's method.” How does this statement challenge our thinking about how God spreads the gospel?
In this powerful message, we explore the radical transformation of Saul of Tarsus—from persecutor of the church to passionate follower of Jesus. This story isn't just about Saul—it's about us. God still stops people in their tracks, opens blind eyes, and calls unlikely people into world-changing purpose.Whether you've been running from God, stuck in your past, or wondering if He could ever use you—this message is for you.Main scripture: Acts 9; Hebrews 12:5-10; Ecclesiastes 11:4

Pastor Micah Stephens delivers a dynamic message from Acts 9, exploring the transformative power of the Holy Spirit through Saul's dramatic conversion to Paul. From a zealous persecutor of Christians, Saul becomes a chosen vessel for Christ, illustrating God's ability to redeem even the worst enemies. Pastor Micah contrasts Saul's murderous intent with his radical obedience after encountering Jesus, emphasizing that God's grace turns Satan's plans against him. Drawing from personal anecdotes, like his VBS teaching and family lake trip, he encourages believers to embrace their role as vessels for God's purpose, trusting in His transformative power despite seeming impossibilities. Pastor Micah calls for obedience, urging the church to reject fear and persecution, knowing Christ bears their burdens and uses trials for His glory.Verse References: Acts 9 verses 1–22, Acts 8 verses 1–3, Acts 5 verses 34–39, 1 Corinthians 2 verses 7–8, Hebrews 11 verse 8, 2 Corinthians 5 verse 17, 1 Timothy 1 verses 15–16, 2 Timothy 2 verses 20–21, Genesis 50 verse 20, Acts 9 verse 31, Acts 26 verse 14, Judges 14 verse 4Make sure you subscribe to this channel and follow us on all our platforms to always stay up to date with our latest content!And you can always head over to our website for any general information!https://godspeak.comPrayer/NeedsIf you have any needs, or have a willingness to be used to meet various need in the body, please email info@godspeak.com.
