The Living One - Week 18: Conversion 

The story of Saul (Paul) of Tarsus is the story of one of the most influential conversions in the history of the planet.
Today’s teaching show us the significance of the Conversion of Paul. Not only is it a remarkable event, it brings forward remarkable truths. New archeological discoveries of Paul’s tomb help emphasize these verses are not just a story. This is an actual account of an actual event, that happened to an actual person, and it changed the world!
This account of Paul’s conversion calls us to a deep relationship with God and demonstrates how God desires to be at work in our lives not just back then, but today in the 21st century as well. God took Paul from being a bulldog for the enemy’s use against those following The Way, Jesus, but Jesus turned Paul into one of His sheep in His flock for His use in sharing the Gospel. God used Paul’s testimony of Jesus changing his life to reach into the hearts of the people of his day and that testimony is still reaching all the way into our hearts today. Paul’s story testifies to the heart of God to be in relationship with each one us no matter who we are or what we’ve done. God’s arms are open to us all.
Come along with us today as we explore Paul’s testimony and allow it to open our hearts to what God wants to do in our own hearts and lives.
