The Unlikely Convert: An Enemy of The Way | Acts 9: 1–9
Who do you think is unlikely to convert to Christ? Here in ch. 9, we now come to the story of Saul—a violent persecutor and enemy of the early Church. Remember (in ch. 7: 58), when Stephen was stoned to death, Saul was there. He was approving the killing of Stephen in ch. 8: 1. But little did Saul know that as he was out to persecute Christians he would be dramatically converted on the way to Damascus. This is a story of how the grace of God saves sinners and transforms us for His glory. So, from this passage, we’ll see: a) Those who oppose the Way. b) Those who encounter the Way. c) Those who have seen the Way.
