What does Saul’s new life teach us about our transformation, and the transformation of others? Personal Encounter o Suddenly a light from heaven flashed around [Saul]. He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?” “Who are you, Lord?” Saul asked. “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.” Acts 9:3-5 o We all meet Jesus, but not all have a relationship Nurturing Church Community o An interesting answer to the Apostles’ prayers o Ananias’ bold obedience o Protection from his past o Barnabas’ encouragement o Church nurturing goes both ways! Commissioning o Sadhu Sundar Singh (1889 – 1929) o What is my commission? Don’t overcomplicate it!
