Acts 9:1-22 - The 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting 13:35 mark. Saul was in hearty agreement with the murder of Stephen (Acts 8:1). After the murder of Stephen, Saul breathed threats and murder against the disciples of Jesus (Acts 9:1). He went to the high priest and asked for letters to the synagogues of Damascus to bind any man or woman who preached the word of God and bring them to Jerusalem. While he was approaching Damascus, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, Acts 9:4,5 – “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?” And he said, “”Who are You, Lord?” And He said, “I am Jesus whom you are persecuting, but get up and enter the city, and it will be told you what you must do” അവൻ നിലത്തുവീണു; ശൌലേ, ശൌലേ, നീഎന്നെഉപദ്രവിക്കുന്നതുഎന്തുഎന്നുതന്നോടുപറയുന്നഒരുശബ്ദംകേട്ടു. നീആരാകുന്നു, കർത്താവേ, എന്നുഅവൻ ചോദിച്ചതിന്നു: നീഉപദ്രവിക്കുന്നയേശുആകുന്നുഞാൻ. The different ways we persecute Jesus, how Saul got blessed after persecuting Jesus, and how we can get blessed when we persecute Jesus are discussed. My name... Cicilysunny@gmail.com

Stephen - The Signpost to Jesus | Acts 6:7-15 | 7 June 26 | Philip Deller | AM | Acts 2026 by Campden Baptist Church
What does it really mean to be “fallen away from grace”? In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef clarifies Paul's warning in Galatians 5:4—a passage often misunderstood as teaching that salvation can be lost. Dr. Youssef explains that Paul is addressing believers who are tempted to enslave themselves again to the law—trusting external rules, rituals, or church dogma as though grace needs help to get us to heaven. The Truth is that God's grace saves us, sustains us, and will present us holy and blameless before the Father. “Falling from grace” happens when we stop believing grace is enough and begin living as though it's grace plus something. That “something” may look spiritual—good works, traditions, personal standards—but the moment it becomes a basis for acceptance with God, it turns gratitude into repayment and replaces Gospel freedom with legalism. Dr. Youssef reminds us: if salvation is by works, it is no longer a gift (Romans 6:23). And if we teach “grace plus,” we are denying the exclusive saving name of Jesus (Acts 4:12) and the God-given nature of faith itself (Ephesians 2:8–10). This episode calls you to guard your heart from subtle legalism and return to the all-sufficient grace of Christ—so your confidence rests where it belongs: in Jesus alone. Prayer: Father, give me the wisdom to discern those times when I begin to add to Your Gospel for my salvation and to repent and rest in Your finished work of salvation. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “You who are trying to be justified by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace” (Galatians 5:4). Learn more in Dr. Michael A. Youssef's sermon Got Freedom?, Freedom Not Excuses: LISTEN NOW The voice you hear on the MY Devotional podcast is digitally generated with Dr. Youssef's permission. If today's devotional stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don't have to walk through it alone.

St. James Church, Evangelical and Reformed Louisville, KY May 17, 2026
In Acts 10–11, we see the first Gentile conversion and one of the most important turning points in the book of Acts. TA walks through four movements in the story and then highlights four things that matter to Jesus and should matter to us. This passage challenges us not to settle for mediocrity as a church and to make sure what matters to Jesus still matters to us.

This message draws from Acts 18 about Priscilla and Aquila to observe their example of character, faith, and courage. This character study exemplifies how faithful women and men can serve in the mission of Christ to make disciples of all the world.
It's all about Jesus, Acts 2:14-41; Rev. Ian McQuarrie, Sunday 17th May 2026
In this week's message, TA taught through Acts 9:32-43 and showed how the healing of Aeneas and the raising of Tabitha point to one central truth: Jesus is healer. These miracles reveal Jesus' power not only over physical brokenness, but also over our broken relationship with God through his death and resurrection.

May 10, 2026 Be Bold, Share Jesus - Acts 17:16-31 by Sermons of Pastor Paul Kaldahl
What does it really mean to be a witness for Jesus? In Acts 26, the apostle Paul stands on trial for preaching the gospel—but instead of backing down, he boldly shares his story, points people to Jesus, and invites them to believe. This message explores: • Why witnessing is a privilege, not just a responsibility • The fear that keeps many Christians silent • How your personal story can point people to Jesus • Why our lives matter as much as our words • The power of invitation and hospitality • How God uses ordinary people as deep witnesses Whether you've followed Jesus for years or you're still exploring faith, this message is a reminder that God still changes lives—and still sends people out with good news.

Fifth Sunday of Easter, May 3, 2026 The Season of Easter is a 50-day Celebration of the Fact that Christ is Risen. What Difference Does It Make? Today's Theme: He lives to be the way to heaven.First Reading: Acts 4:8-12.Second Reading: 1 Peter 2:4-10.Gospel: John 14:1-11Sermon Text: Acts 4:8-12. Speaking Boldly About the Risen JesusPastor Ron Koehler
There's a difference between knowing about Jesus and actually walking with Him in power. This message from Pastor George Sawyer is an invitation to stop standing still in your faith and start stepping into everything God has already made available to you.In Next Steps, Pastor Sawyer takes us into the Upper Room in John , a moment filled with urgency, emotion, and promise. Jesus is preparing His disciples for what's coming, and instead of leaving them empty, He gives them something greater. This message brings clarity to what it actually means to follow Jesus in the New Testament. It's not about routine religion or occasional inspiration, it's about being filled, led, and empowered by the Holy Spirit daily. From creation to salvation, from Acts 1 to today, we see the same truth: God's Spirit transforms everything He touches.Pastor Sawyer challenges us to move beyond surface-level faith and surrender every part of our lives to the Holy Spirit. Because partial surrender leads to partial power, but full surrender unlocks everything.If you've been asking, “What's my next step?” this message will point you directly to it.Digital Connect Card: www.calvaryassembly.org/new Giving: https://calvarylive.churchcenter.com/giving Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/CalvaryLiveAL/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/calvary_live/ Need prayer? https://www.calvaryassembly.org/prayer Want to take your next step in faith?

A Bigger Life Prayer and Bible Devotionals with Pastor Dave Cover
This is Christian Meditation for A Bigger Life – a time for you to relax your body and refocus your mind to experience the reality of God's presence. I'm Dave Cover. I want to help you with Christian meditation where you can break through all the distractions and experience God's presence through biblically guided imagination. Acts 17:28 NIV “For in him we live and move and have our being.” Jesus said this… Luke 11:13 ESV “If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” Sometimes the Bible refers to the Holy Spirit as “the Spirit of Jesus” (Acts 16:7), or “the Spirit of Christ” (Rom. 8:9). It's by the Holy Spirit that Jesus is present in you and with you. Ephesians 3:16-17 NIV “I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.” 1 Corinthians 12:4, 7, 11 NIV “There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. …Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. …All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.” Galatians 5:22-23 ESV “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.” This is what it actually means to be “holy.” When you look at all the verses about the Holy Spirit in the Bible, one way to think of who he is is not just the Holy Spirit, but the Healing Spirit. The more you become aware of God's healing Spirit in your inner being – the more you pay attention to his presence and his leading – the more YOU will be transformed into the REAL YOU that God intended when he created you (2 Cor. 3:18).

Prayer Moment 2 of 5 in MarchPrayer for Hearts of Buddhists1. Softened Hearts: Pray that God would remove hearts of stone in Buddhists and give them hearts of flesh (Ezekiel 36:26).2.

February 22 2026 The book of Acts shows us that the Holy Spirit is still actively guiding ordinary believers to share the message of Jesus in everyday moments. In Acts 8, we see how God used Philip's willingness to follow the Spirit's prompting to reach one person, reminding us that God's mission often unfolds through simple obedience and intentional conversations. It challenges us to reflect on how the Holy Spirit might be leading us to take our own next step—whether that means placing our trust in Jesus, stepping out to share our faith, or following Him in obedience through baptism. About this Sermon Series: The book of Acts tells the story of how the exalted Christ sends His Spirit to empower His people to continue His work in the world. Through the Spirit's power, ordinary believers boldly proclaim the gospel, witness miraculous works, and form vibrant communities that embody God's welcome to all people. Acts traces how the church's witness, energized by the Spirit, extends from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth, revealing Christ's ongoing work through His people and the Spirit's leading in every new challenge and opportunity.
Filled with the Spirit, Pointing to Jesus Acts 2:14-41Teacher: Pastor Matt PiersonDate: February 22, 2026In Acts 2, we witness the powerful outpouring of the Holy Spirit as Jesus fills His followers gathered in Jerusalem. Then Peter—once the fearful disciple who denied Jesus—stands up, filled with the Spirit, and boldly proclaims the gospel.What transformed Peter from frightened fisherman to fearless apostle? The same Holy Spirit who breathed new life into him now lives in us. As Charles Spurgeon said, without the Spirit, “we are as ships without wind, or like coals without fire.”Join Pastor Matt this Sunday as we explore what it means to be filled with the Spirit and to live lives that point to Jesus.To find more resources like these, follow us:Website: https://thevillagechapel.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQVTzDbaiXVUAm_mUBDCTJAInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tvcnashville/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tvcnashvilleX: https://twitter.com/tvcnashvilleTo support the ongoing mission of The Village Chapel go to https://thevillagechapel.com/give/.

Verse by verse study through the book of Acts Chapter Seven and Verse Fifty Five
What do you do when following Jesus brings applause—or opposition? In Acts 3–4, the early church faces both success and pressure, and their response might surprise you. This talk explores where real courage comes from and why silence and aggression both miss the point. If you've ever struggled to speak about your faith in public, this is for you.
Maybe you've heard or used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” at the close of a prayer. Like anything we get used to, it's easy to forget the significance of what we're saying. When you do something in someone else's name, you act in their authority and as their representative. In Acts chapters 3-4 we learn that a Spirit-empowered life includes speaking and living in the name of Jesus - in his strength, as his representative and for his glory. While that means hope and joy for many, it is also a threat to anyone clinging to their own power.
