There are many landmark events described in the Bible. In the ninth chapter of Acts, the conversion of Saul takes place. It's because of this one event that a significant portion of the New Testament was written. And it's abundantly clear when we read the account of Saul's conversion that it is indeed the power of the Holy Spirit and our faith Jesus Christ that saves us.

Lloyd is currently teaching out of the book of Acts, and today we'll be in chapter eight. The story of the Ethiopian Eunuch is a great story of surrender, and the great blessings available to us when we surrender our lives to Jesus Christ. Surrender is a negative word for many people. Our ego tells us that surrender is a sign of weakness, but actually, just the opposite is true.

Today we'll return to pastor Lloyd's series in the book of Acts called "The World Upside Down". The message today is titled "Divine Guidance in Our Salvation", based on the story of the Ethiopian Eunuch. This wonderful story is found in Acts chapter eight, verses twenty six through forty.

Today we'll see a good example from the book of Acts of how dangerous illusions and trickery can be. We're in the midst of our series in Acts called "The World Upside Down", and we find ourselves today in chapter eight. Here, we meet Simon the Sorcerer.

Today Lloyd will take us to Acts chapter eight. Hardship and trials are a part of every life. You've heard that we're supposed to make "lemonade out of lemons". Well, there's a certain amount of truth in that saying. We should be able to turn a trial into a trail that leads us closer to God.

The need to stand firm comes up repeatedly in the book of Acts as it does in our lives today. So to be faithful to the scripture and to encourage ourselves - we will look at it once more. Pastor Lloyd Pulley is our teacher, and he's taking us through a series in the book of Acts called "The World Upside Down". We've reached the seventh chapter, where Stephen is offering his defense before a crowd that wants to kill him - and ultimately does.

One of the worst things we can experience is to be falsely accused of something. It really hurts, doesn't it? New advances in DNA analysis have proven that many men and women have spent years in prison for crimes they did not commit. In Acts chapter six, we see a scene in which Stephen is accused of a terrible crime. How does he react? Let's find out as we go to Pastor Lloyd Pulley for today's message, based in Acts chapter six.

One of the great men of the Bible was Stephen. He was a man of faith, strength and perseverance. Our study through the book of Acts reaches chapter six, verse eight today, as we see the story of the first martyr of the Christian church, Stephen. His story not only points out what a great man of faith he was, it also shows us how destructive lying and rumor-mongering can be.

Lloyd is currently leading us on a verse by verse journey through the book of Acts, titled "the World Upside Down".
