While none of us have had an encounter like the on Paul had when Christ came into his life, we can all learn much from the way that God’s calling in his life effected Paul’s every day decisions. That’s why Romans 15 is so important. It’s more than an interesting account of Paul’s travels. It provides a glimpse into the way that he formed his decisions.

We can endure the difficulties of life when we remember that GOD HAS a PLAN. This sermon reveals that the plans the Apostle Paul made were directed by his understanding of the unique role that he had to be "God's minister to the Gentiles."

King Saul is an important Bible character for us to study because we live in a time when religious activity is easily confused with true spirituality.

The story in 1 Samuel 15 prompts great criticism from atheists who claim that it demonstrates that God cannot exist, because if there is a God, He could not possibly approve of killing an entire race of people. This message focuses on the apologetic issues related to the command to "kill all of the Amalekites." Perhaps a better for this sermon would be “God’s Righteousness and the Slaughter of the Amalekites.”
