When everything you know really is wrong. Very few are granted a moment like the one Saul had on his way to Damascus: an instant when his whole life was turned over. Suddenly, up was down, black was white. To be standing in front of the detested Nazarene, not dead but alive - and in all His divine glory and power - must have seemed like the end of Saul's life. And in a way, of course, it was. Our Acts series continues with the message, Paul's Encounter with God. Here's Pastor Jim to bring us Part 1.

Many are asking about developments concerning the Mount Ararat Discovery: what appears a large frozen ancient wooden structure buried under volcanic rock and ice near the top of Mount Ararat in Eastern Turkey. What is most interesting is that the Bible mentions the mountains of Ararat (ancient Urartu) as the resting place of Noah’s Ark. Though not always known by its current name, being the tallest mountain in the Ancient Near East, Mount Ararat is the only mountain in ancient Urartu where the tops of the surrounding mountains would still be covered with water when viewed from the mountain where the Ark came to rest. The discovery of Otzi the Iceman in the Italian Alps back in the early nineties shows how the permanently frozen conditions on top of this mountain could have preserved wood for thousands of years.
