Saul’s conversion in Acts 9 gave him a new relationship with God (‘Abba’ Father), a new family (sisters and brother in Christ), new power for living (Holy Spirit), and new freedom. But here’s the
sermon bonus point I didn’t get to this past weekend… Saul also got a new mission! Saul joins God’s mission
of redemption for the world by taking the gospel to the Gentiles. Like Saul, our
salvation isn’t just personal and private assurance of eternal destiny. It’s an
invitation to God’s mission for the world.
This coming weekend’s Bible text is Acts 9:26-31 and the
story of Barnabas’ introduction of Saul to the skeptical believers in
Jerusalem. I look forward to worshipping
with you this weekend!
