Can every person really change, or is it true that a tiger never changes its stripes? This sermon takes us to Acts 9, where the fiercest persecutor of the church is knocked to the ground on the road to Damascus and asks a single question: who are you, Lord? The story of Saul and the frightened Ananias shows that spiritual change begins with knowing Jesus, happens through the power of the Holy Spirit, and unfolds over a lifetime. Listen, if you have ever written someone off as beyond hope, or thought that about yourself.
The Conversion of Paul – Even Enemies Can Change
To the Ends of the Earth
Jesus entrusted us with the task of spreading the Good News of salvation to the ends of the earth. However, we are not the first to carry out this mission. Therefore, as we seek inspiration for action, we want to learn from those who were there at the very beginning-by turning to the Book of Acts.
As we read it, we discover that despite numerous adversities, the Gospel proclaimed in the power of the Holy Spirit is unstoppable. It breaks through one barrier after another and transforms people’s lives-often those of the least expected.
The Acts of the Apostles is a book in which a great deal truly happens. It’s worth reading so that something might happen in your life as well-and in the lives of the people God places in your path.
