    Saul was an unusual convert, to be sure. But perhaps he can serve as an example of the things the new believers go through when they come to Christ. And we can also find out how we can encourage them by reaching out like Barnabas did.

    Passage: Acts 9:19-31 Intro: There are times in our lives when we undergo dramatic change. 1. moving, starting a new school, a new job. 2. many factors in these changes, but one of the most powerful is the change in relationships. 3. separate from old friends, perhaps struggle to make new ...read more

    God Wants A Church For Forgiven Sinners Who Get A Jesus Welcome

    Saul was formerly a ’Preacher of Hate’. He was once a Religious Terrorist! After his dramatic conversion Saul, like us, was a forgiven sinner. He received a Jesus welcome into the Church from Ananias and Barnabas. That’s the Church God wants!

    He was once a religious fanatic and a religious terrorist at the same time. He was once a preacher of hate. There was a time when he was “breathing out murderous threats against followers of Jesus” (9:1). Saul!
