Is redemption really free, and if so, what was the price? In this episode of Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster opens with the powerful hymn "Nor Silver Nor Gold" by James M. Gray and takes us deep into Acts 22:1-22 (KJV), where the Apostle Paul stands on the steps of the temple and gives one of the most compelling testimonies in all of Scripture.

You might be asking — Can someone who actively persecuted Christians really be saved? What happened to Paul on the road to Damascus? Why did Paul go blind, and what does that mean for us? What does it mean that redemption was bought with the blood of Jesus?

In this devotion, Pastor Roderick Webster walks us through these key points:

- Paul openly identifies with his persecutors, sharing their background before sharing his transformation

- A blinding light on the Damascus road stopped Paul in his tracks and changed his direction forever

- Ananias, a man of good report, spoke simply — and Paul's sight was restored that same hour

- Paul received a clear calling: to be a witness to all men of what he had seen and heard

- The crowd listened — until Paul mentioned the Gentiles

Why was Paul proud to call himself a prisoner? In this episode of Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster opens Ephesians chapter 3, verse 1, where the Apostle Paul introduces himself not with titles of honor, but as a prisoner of Jesus Christ. Using the King James Version, Pastor Webster walks us through the powerful backstory behind Paul's imprisonment and what it truly means to suffer for the sake of the gospel.

You might be asking: Can following Jesus really cost you your freedom? What does it mean to be a prisoner of Christ? Is it possible to boast in suffering? How did Paul end up in chains in the first place?

Key points from this devotion:

- Paul identified himself as a prisoner of the Lord Jesus Christ, not of Rome

- True Christianity includes being a partaker of the afflictions of the gospel

- Paul's imprisonment was directly connected to his preaching to the Gentiles

- The mob in Jerusalem wanted to kill Paul for bringing the gospel to outsiders

- God's purpose cannot be stopped even when His servants are in chains

Are you a living stone in God's temple? In this episode of Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster of Good News Baptist Church in Sint Maarten opens the Word to show us that the Church is not a building made of brick and mortar — it is a living, growing temple made up of every born-again believer.

Drawing from Ephesians 2:21, 1 Peter 2:4-6, Matthew 16:18, and 1 Corinthians 3:11 in the KJV, Pastor Webster walks us through the beautiful truth that Jesus Christ is the chief cornerstone holding everything together.

You might be asking... What does it mean to be a "living stone"? Why does unity matter so much in the Church? How is Christ building His Church today? What is the purpose of apostles, prophets, pastors, and teachers?

Key points from this devotion:

- We are all sinners by nature, but redemption comes through the blood of Jesus Christ alone

- The Church is one body, Jews and Gentiles unified under one Spirit and one hope

- Jesus Christ is the chief cornerstone — no other foundation can be laid

- Every believer is a living stone set in a holy, spiritual temple

- God gave gifts to the Church to mature, build up, and protect the saints from false teaching
