Anchored in Hope: Growing Deeper in Faith – Hebrews 6 Part 1In this episode of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane walk through Hebrews 6, unpacking its deep encouragements and strong warnings. What does it mean to move beyond spiritual infancy? How do we respond to the sobering call to maturity while holding fast to the unshakable hope we have in Christ? This conversation leans into the tension of warning and promise, reminding us that our faith isn't meant to stay stagnant—but to grow, bear fruit, and remain anchored in God's unchanging promises.____________________________________Connect with Jamie:Website: www.jamieklusacek.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacekConnect with Jane:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams____________________________________ Get Jamie's Newest Book:Living Loved: An 8-week Journey to Living Fully Loved

At Bethany, We are God's People who are: Gathered! Connected! Sent!We want to connect with you through this Podcast! Leave us a comment! Tell us where you are at! Leave a Review to help our audience grow!---May 4, 2025 -- Rev. Arthur Rickman -- "Go Cast Your Net" -- Acts 9:1-22(9) Saul kept threatening to murder the Lord's disciples. He went to the chief priest 2 and asked him to write letters of authorization to the synagogue leaders in the city of Damascus. Saul wanted to arrest any man or woman who followed the way of Christ and imprison them in Jerusalem. 3 As Saul was coming near the city of Damascus, a light from heaven suddenly flashed around him. 4 He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, “Saul! Saul! Why are you persecuting me?” 5 Saul asked, “Who are you, sir?” The person replied, “I'm Jesus, the one you're persecuting. 6 Get up! Go into the city, and you'll be told what you should do.” 7 Meanwhile, the men traveling with him were speechless. They heard the voice but didn't see anyone. 8 Saul was helped up from the ground. When he opened his eyes, he was blind. So his companions led him into Damascus. 9 For three days he couldn't see and didn't eat or drink. 10 A disciple named Ananias lived in the city of Damascus. The Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias!” Ananias answered, “Yes, Lord.” 11 The Lord told him, “Get up! Go to Judas' house on Straight Street, and ask for a man named Saul from the city of Tarsus. He's praying. 12 In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias place his hands on him to restore his sight.” 13 Ananias replied, “Lord, I've heard a lot of people tell about the many evil things this man has done to your people in Jerusalem. 14 Saul has come here to Damascus with authority from the chief priests to put anyone who calls on your name in prison.” 15 The Lord told Ananias, “Go! I've chosen this man to bring my name to nations, to kings, and to the people of Israel. 16 I'll show him how much he has to suffer for the sake of my name.” 17 Ananias left and entered Judas' house. After he placed his hands on Saul, Ananias said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on your way to Damascus, sent me to you. He wants you to see again and to be filled with the Holy Spirit.” 18 Immediately, something like fish scales fell from Saul's eyes, and he could see again. Then Saul stood up and was baptized. 19 After he had something to eat, his strength came back to him. Saul was with the disciples in the city of Damascus for several days. 20 He immediately began to spread the word in their synagogues that Jesus was the Son of God. 21 Everyone who heard him was amazed. They asked, “Isn't this the man who destroyed those who worshiped the one named Jesus in Jerusalem? Didn't he come here to take these worshipers as prisoners to the chief priests in Jerusalem?” 22 Saul grew more powerful, and he confused the Jews living in Damascus by proving that Jesus was the Messiah.http://www.bethanylutheran.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.facebook.com/Bethany.Long.Beach⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.youtube.com/c/BethanyLutheranLongBeach

Our message begins with Saul, still blind in Damascus.  The Lord appears to a man named Ananias and gives him instructions to pray for Saul.  Understandably anxious, Ananias obeys the Lord and Saul has his sight restored and is baptized.  He immediately begins to preach that Jesus Christ is the Son of God! It's not long before the "persecutor" becomes the "persecuted."  When Saul goes to Jerusalem, he experiences the same challenge he faced in Damascus.  We will also look at Saul's so-called "silent" years. 

Message Us!Through the story of Tabitha's resurrection in Acts 9, we discover three vital ingredients for a healthy, growing church that applies to believers today. • Walking in the fear of the Lord means having reverence that leads to wisdom and obedience• The comfort of the Holy Spirit provides power and confidence during difficult times• Being committed to ministry through prayer and good works opens us to be vessels for God• Tabitha's dedication to making garments for widows was so valued that people sought her resurrection• Miracles alone don't convert people – they create openings for the gospel to be shared• Even small acts of service when done with dedication can have eternal significance• All believers are called to ministry, not just pastors and leaders• The church grows when ordinary people use their God-given talents• Like building the Brooklyn Bridge piece by piece, the kingdom expands through incremental faithfulnessOur goal should be to live as people who fear the Lord, walk in the presence of the Spirit, and serve faithfully for God's glory and for the good of others.Support the show

Because He Lives, We Can See Things Clearly (Acts 9:1-21) 05/04/2025 by Divine Grace Lutheran Church

Sunday, May 4, 2025"Resurrection People: Resurrection People Change" - Tyler TankersleySermon based on Acts 9:1-20(reading by Susan David)

Some things you don't want to see clearly—like your high school hairdo or a dirty floor in sunlight. Clarity can be uncomfortable. But when it comes to our spiritual lives, clarity is essential—even if it reveals things we'd rather not face. This sermon walks through the powerful moment of Saul's conversion and how his encounter with the risen Jesus gave him true clarity—about who Jesus is, who Saul was, and what God had truly called him to. Saul thought he was serving God by persecuting Christians, but he was spiritually blind. Only the grace of Jesus could open his eyes. Just like Saul, we too can live in a blurry, self-deceived view of life. But in Christ, we are given the clarity of truth, perspective, and purpose. This message explores: How clarity can both expose and heal Why God's grace—not our efforts—makes us right with Him How faith gives us spiritual vision to live with confidence, joy, and direction Whether you're new to faith or a lifelong Christian, this sermon will help you reflect on the miracle of spiritual sight and the ongoing journey of learning to truly see with the eyes of faith.

Josh teaches from Acts 9 about Saul's conversion and embracing change in the context of safe community.

Acts 9:3-6

Acts 9:31-42

The year was AD33 when we read in Acts 9 of the conversion of Saul of Tarsus. Saul is seeking to destroy the believers in Christ who dwelt in Damascus. Saul presses on as the fierce Syrian sun burns brightly in the sky. Saul is blinded by a light stronger than the sun and he is stirred by a voice that he may well have known, “Saul, Saul why are you persecuting me?” The Syriac Pashito, whose phrase, “It is hard for you to kick against the goads” is added to the English KJV. Saul's response is, “Who are you Lord?” With his eyes blinded and his mind in total turmoil and his entire world view turned upside down (as would be said of him in Acts 17:6) he is led by the hand into the city to await instructions. For three days Saul neither ate nor drank. Ananias is told to go to Saul to lay hands on him to recover Saul's sight. Ananias is further told of Saul's mission which Almighty God has marked out for him. Saul is a chosen vessel to take Christ's message before kings. Ananias goes to the street which ironically named “Straight”. Ramsay says in his book that it was the most crooked street in all Damascus. Ananias courageously lays his hands on Saul and restores his sight and imparts to Saul the Holy Spirit. Saul preaches Jesus in the Damascene synagogues to the astonishment of all. From there Saul goes to Jerusalem and seeks association with the believers, who shun him believing that Saul is using a ruse to get among them. Respite from persecution is granted to the ecclesias. Peter heals Aeneas at Lydda slightly inland from Joppa; then at Joppa he is shown the clothes that Dorcas had made for the widows and orphans before her decease. Peter raises her to life to continue her work and from there Peter he goes to the house of Simon the tanner. We might pose a question: Did Peter go to the house of a tanner to prepare himself to accept that ceremonial uncleanness was no longer relevant as we will see in our reading tomorrow from Acts 10?

“As he was approaching Damascus on this mission, a light from heaven suddenly shone down around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, ‘Saul! Saul! Why are you persecuting me?’” (Acts 9:3–4 NLT) The story of Stephen’s stoning contains a curious footnote: “His accusers took off their coats and laid them at the feet of a young man named Saul” (Acts 7:58 NLT). That would be Saul of Tarsus. After participating in the stoning of Stephen, Saul gained notoriety as a persecutor of Christians. Saul was proud of his Jewish heritage and zealous in his Jewish faith. When he saw the followers of Jesus of Nazareth, a dead revolutionary, challenging Jewish beliefs, he determined to put an end to their movement. Acts 8:3 says, “But Saul was going everywhere to destroy the church. He went from house to house, dragging out both men and women to throw them into prison” (NLT). Acts 9:1 says, “Saul was uttering threats with every breath and was eager to kill the Lord’s followers” (NLT). This was a man fueled by religious extremism. Saul found his identity in his Jewish religion. He was rigid in his beliefs and unlikely to change. Until he encountered the risen Christ. While Saul was on his way to Damascus to arrest Christians, Jesus appeared to him, as explained in the passage above. Saul’s life was never the same again. Temporarily blinded after his encounter, Saul was led to the home of Ananias, a believer who knew of Saul’s reputation and was understandably suspicious of him. But the Lord revealed to Ananias that He had important plans for Saul. Saul regained his sight, was filled by the Holy Spirit, and then baptized. As zealous as ever, he went straight to the local synagogue and proclaimed that Jesus was the Son of God. The Jewish people who had been his former allies were confounded by the power of his teaching. As was the case with Ananias, the apostles and church leaders viewed Saul with skepticism. Eventually he won them over with the power of his testimony, his teaching, and his zeal to share the Good News. Saul embarked on three major missionary journeys that took him to Gentile regions throughout the land. Perhaps to give himself more credibility in those places, he started using his Roman name, Paul. He was imprisoned, stoned, and beaten for preaching the truth of Christ. But he never wavered. He considered it an honor to suffer for the Lord’s sake. He was beheaded in Rome around AD 66. But not before God had used him to change the world. The life of Saul/Paul is a testimony to the power of Jesus’ resurrection. The risen Christ can transform any life. He offers forgiveness and healing. He gives us new purpose, new meaning, and new hope. Through the Holy Spirit, He guides us, comforts us, convicts us when we do wrong, and challenges us to maximize our God-given gifts. Jesus lets us start again. Reflection question: How has Jesus transformed your life or the lives of people you know?

This sermon was preached by Walt Alexander at Trinity Grace Church, on April 20, 2025. Scripture: Acts 9:1-22

Easter isn't just a story — it's a personal invitation. In Acts 9, Saul moves from thinking the resurrection is ridiculous to realizing it's real. Jesus meets us in our pain, sends us companions, and calls us to new life. Conversion is possible.

Here at Waterbrooke, we have been studying the New Testament book of Acts. This Sunday, we are in Acts 9:32-43 as we celebrate Easter Sunday and the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. The entire book of Acts is both a demonstration and a defense of the reality of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Dr. Brandon Crowe from Westminster Theological Seminary writes: “The resurrection of Jesus Christ is one of the key emphases of Acts, and this helps us appreciate the theological unity of the entire book.” I would say that the resurrection is THE key emphasis of the book of Acts. The resurrected Christ has transformed His timid disciples into bold apostles of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Their changed lives and their bold ministries are proof of the resurrection. The pouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost is proof that Jesus is both risen and reigning. The conversion of multitudes of people is proof of the power of the risen Christ, beginning to change humanity. Saul of Tarsus' radical conversion is clearly declared to have happened because of his encounter with the resurrected Christ on the road to Damascus. For Luke, every advancement of the kingdom of God into the nations is proof of the resurrected Christ. Acts displays what Jesus continued to do as the risen and reigning Savior and King to advance His kingdom and to bring the nations to Himself. The resurrection has changed everything! C.S. Lewis wrote in his book Miracles, “To preach Christianity meant (to the Apostles) primarily to preach the Resurrection. … The Resurrection is the central theme in every Christian sermon reported in the Acts. The Resurrection and its consequences were the ‘gospel' or good news which the Christians brought.” (Miracles, ch. 16) This Sunday, we celebrated the resurrection and reminded ourselves what it is that we are declaring when we announce and rejoice in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Friends, Christ is risen! He is risen, indeed! Our message is called: What the Resurrection Changes! Let's rejoice this Sunday with great rejoicing and sing and declare with confidence that His resurrection changes everything for good! Looking forward to celebrating Easter with you! Invite your family and friends to celebrate with us! In Christ, Kevin Dibbley, Senior Pastor

[ 11:00 Service ] On Easter Sunday, April 20, 2025, Patrick teaches about the apostle Paul, from Acts 9:1-31. We wouldn't hold the beliefs we do unless we thought they were right, just as we wouldn't live the lives we do unless we thought it was best. But, often, we become so stuck in those ways that we're unwilling to consider anything else. The Resurrection of Jesus requires us to each deconstruct our lives, however, enabling us to see there is something better than we ever could have imagined.

Called & Covered: The Role of a High Priest – Hebrews 5 Part 1In this episode, Jamie and Jane dive into Hebrews 5:1–8 and explore what it truly means that Jesus is our High Priest. What was the role of a high priest, and how does Christ fulfill it perfectly for us? From the call of God to the covering of grace, this conversation unpacks the beauty of God's design for intimacy, access, and representation through Jesus. If you've ever wondered how God draws near in your weakness, this one's for you.____________________________________Connect with Jamie:Website: www.jamieklusacek.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacekConnect with Jane:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams____________________________________ Get Jamie's Newest Book:Living Loved: An 8-week Journey to Living Fully Loved

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.” — John Stott Titus 3:4-5 // John 6:63,65 // 1 Peter 1:3 // Ephesians 2:4-5 Lessons on Regeneration from the Apostle Paul's Conversion: 1. EVERY CHRISTIAN, no matter how godly and mature, has a TOTALLY REBELLIOUS ‘BEFORE CHRIST'. 1 Timothy 1:15-16 // Ephesians 2:1-2 2. No one CHOOSES Jesus as Lord in their OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS; He CHOOSES us and OPENS our EYES to His GLORY when we are DEAD in our SIN. John 15:16 // 2 Corinthians 4:6 // Ephesians 1:3-5 // Galatians 1:15-16 3. Everyone Jesus TAKES as His OWN, He TASKS with a specific ROLE in His mission. Acts 26:12-18 // Ephesians 2:8-10 4.

Many people PRAISE Jesus as ‘KING' under the FALSE ASSUMPTION that He has come to give them the EARTHLY LIFE they've always WANTED. Mark 10:17,22 // John 6:60,66 // Matthew 11:2-3 // Luke 24:21 2. Following the REAL King JESUS often leads to DIFFICULTY, not COMFORT — because the world OPPOSES the message of His ETERNAL Kingdom. John 15:18-19 // John 16:33 3. King Jesus is WORTH losing EVERYTHING for because He has given us the most VALUABLE thing of all — HIMSELF.
