Scripture: Acts 9:1-19

Description: Until Lent, we will be traveling through a sermon series titled “Biblical Bullies: What They Teach Us About Ethics, Living Like Jesus, and Romans 12:21 .” The purpose is to look at some unsavory characters in the Scripture to discover various truths about living as God’s children and “overcoming evil by good” (Rom 12:21 ). This week’s message keys in on the curious case of Saul, the vehement Pharisee who has a heart-change and becomes one of the greatest of the apostles. In his story, we are reminded that no person–whether bully or victim–is without hope for a new or changed life.
