Contributed by Robert Butler on Oct 24, 2019

Total Surrender - The Transformation Of Saul To Paul

Contributed by Dr. Jonathan Vorce on Jul 5, 2024

Have you ever wondered what "Total Surrender" looks like? Through the Saul-Paul story, we learn that true surrender involves giving up control and submitting our will, thoughts, desires, and ambitions to God.

This process is not easy, but the rewards are immeasurable. One powerful example of complete surrender can be seen ...read more

Well, today we come to the end of the history of Saul, Israel’s first king. The question that faces us as we think about the life of Saul, is just how much of a failure was it?
