From Persecutor to Preacher: The Conversion of Saul | Acts 8–9

Acts 8–9 takes us from the spreading gospel in Samaria to one of the most dramatic conversions in Scripture. Adam and Kevin discuss Philip, Simon the magician, the Ethiopian eunuch and baptism, Saul’s encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus, Ananias, Barnabas, and the story of Tabitha. Along the way, we ask some important questions: What does Acts teach us about baptism? Why did Simon struggle with his old ways even after believing? What can Saul’s conversion teach us about repentance and a changed life? And what can someone like Tabitha teach us about using even simple talents to serve God? Saul went from persecuting Christians to boldly preaching Jesus. That is quite a turnaround. Join us as we walk through Acts chapters 8 and 9 together.
