    I want to tell you a story. This story is about a very well know man in the Bible. A very religious man. A man who was regarded very high amongst his peers, but brought great fear to those he opposed. I am speaking of a man named Saul. Like every one of us, Saul, or later as he became or know, ...read more

    The remarkable conversion of Saul, in which he put his faith in the Savior he had been so viciously persecuting, unfolds in five phases: 1) Contact (Acts 9:3), 2) Conviction (Acts 9:4), 3) Conversion (Acts 9:5), 4) Consecration (Acts 9:6–8), and 5) Communion (Acts 9:9).

    Acts 9:1-9 [1] But Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest [2] and asked him for letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to the Way, men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.

    A man on his way to work has an encounter that he was not prepared for. His life changed that day and he was never the same, nor were the people that he knew or met as he traveled.

    Undoubtedly many people have heard this story of Paul’s conversion on the road to Damascus. The story of how the primary enemy of the early church meets Jesus is told in Acts 9:1-9. Saul, the man who had detained the followers of Jesus in Jerusalem (Acts 7:58, 8:1-3), moves north to Damascus, ...read more
