Believers have experienced it, the lost are in need of it, many will reject it. What is “It?” The eternal gospel! Join with us this Sunday as we look at how Saul of Tarsus allowed the eternal gospel to not only save him, but to stir a passion within him to make sure the whole world knew about IT!

Continuing to look at the people who were fundamentally changed when they met Christ, we look at Saul of Tarsus who was changed from bounty hunter persecuting Christians to the first missionary the world ever knew after a meeting with Christ on the road to Damascus.
One of the central figures in the life of the early church, and one of the least likely to find himself there, was Saul of Tarsus, known to us as the Apostle Paul. His faithful and vulnerable written communications to his friends and churches give us, even today in 2024, invaluable ‘how to's' for living the Christian life. It is fair to say he would never have seen coming the shifts in focus, the shift in loyalties, the shift in priorities. It was not the autobiography he would have planned to write.

Jesse and Hunter return to God and sinners for another look at God's goodness and sovereignty in working alongside and through the lives of sinners. Some of these sinners, are changed to newness of life. Others remain unmoved to their own downfall.--Passages explored: Acts 7:54-60, Exodus 7:14-12:42, Daniel 4:34-37, Deuteronomy 10:12-22 --contact@parableministries.comhttps://www.parableministries.comhttps://www.instagram.com/parable_ministries/--Music created by Chad HoffmanArtwork created by Anthony Kuenzi--Jesse Turkington is the executive director of Parable Ministries and has been a Bible teacher for the last 9 years. When Jesse was just finishing high school, he started a little Bible study at his parent's house. Little did he know, this Bible study would change the direction of his life. He fell in love with the richness of the Bible and he wanted to pursue serious study. About 10 years later, Jesse still carries that passion for the Bible and from this passion was born Parable Ministries - a Bible teaching resource. Jesse believes that the Bible is a life changing book and that it can transform the way we view the world. The Bible presents a Creator God who desires intimate fellowship with us. His ways are not our ways and His thoughts are not our thoughts. Through study and thoughtful meditation, the Bible works to untangle our situational worldview and elevate our hopes and desires - we are encouraged to think on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Jesse is all about this book and he wants to share it with whoever will listen.-Hunter grew up in Montana and now serves the Church in Albany Oregon where he works as a youth and young adults pastor. He and his wife Ana stay busy with two kids. Hunter loves studying the Bible and communicating it in a way which encourages further exploration of others. Hunter enjoys listening and making podcasts for others to enjoy.

1 Corinthians 15:8-11 — Saul of Tarsus had a dramatic encounter with the risen Lord on the road to Damascus, and he was never the same afterward. In this sermon on 1 Corinthians 15:8–11 titled “The Conversion of Saul of Tarsus,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones makes the case that Christians go through a remarkably similar process in their own conversions. There is much to be learned of the Christian faith from the life and writings of the apostle Paul, formerly Saul of Tarsus. In his first letter to the Corinthians, Paul highlights his own conversion to show that the gospel he preaches is the same gospel he received. Dr. Lloyd-Jones maintains that this is the same gospel that has transformed individuals throughout the history of the church, and continues to transform lives even today. The process is that God seeks out people, makes Himself known to them, and shows them the way of salvation. Christian conversion is completely dependent upon the power of the grace of God. By the grace of God, a Christian can say, “I was…but I am.” Dr. Lloyd-Jones challenges his audience to consider the conviction of sin, repentance, and rebirth.

Acts 9:6 — The world today is filled with false conversion: people who know about Jesus, but do not actually know Jesus. In this sermon on Acts 9:6 titled “Saul of Tarsus, Christian,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones brings the listener face to face with the saving power of the gospel. It is the gospel that produces contrition, the sense of fear and trembling that comes when sin is exposed, and the need for forgiveness is made clear. More than a temporary emotional experience, true conversion involves the will, heart, and the mind. True repentance abandons the former life and looks back with gratitude and thankfulness for the patience of Christ in saving sinners. The love of Jesus surrounds His child and brings a peace that surpasses all human understanding. The saved child of God now looks at hell and realizes they have been saved from it, by their gracious and loving Lord.

Acts 9:1-19Speaker: Dr. David Fleer
In recognition of the New Year, I wanted to tell a story about new beginnings. This is the story of one of the most powerful transformations in the Bible. Saul of Tarsus was born shortly after the death of Jesus and went on to become a well-known Pharisee. He mercilessly persecuted followers of Jesus, until a dramatic confrontation with God changed his life forever. We are reading Acts 8 and 9.

Sunday Service | A teaching in Acts 9:1-19 with guest teacher Rod Thompson
In Acts 9 we continue to see the conversion of Saul. A man bent on-murder who becomes a faithful servant of the gospel of Jesus Christ. A man humbled to the-uttermost and then empowered to preach to the nations. We see the sovereign hand of God-raising up His vessels for salvation and we see in it the severity of God in calling this man to a-life of suffering for the name of Jesus.

In Acts 9 we see the power of God to take a heart bent on murder, hatred and anger and convert it to one who loves Jesus Christ and changes a man's whole direction in life and purpose. We see Saul, breathing threats against believers be confronted by the risen Lord and the end result is a man named Paul. We explore who Paul was to appreciate how even in his unbelief God was directing his life in such a way that he would be a key part of the early Church and the spread of the gospel.

The most compelling apologetic for Jesus is not a well-turned phrase but a radically changed life. In Week 18 of our Book of Acts series, Pastor Josh McPherson guides us through the process God uses to sanctifies saints as demonstrated in the story of Saul of Tarsus becoming the Apostle Paul. Before God knocked him off his horse he was a well off, gritty, genius, work horse, who was a single, religious, zealous, wrong man who God radically redeemed and transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit through one simple act of obedience at a time.Thanks for listening! visit www.gracecitychurch.com for more content.
When asked to describe Christianity, Theologian J.I. Packer said, “God Saves Sinners”. Nowhere is this truth more powerfully described than in the story of the Apostle Paul's conversion in Acts Chapter 9. In this sermon, Pastor Josh McPherson walks us through just how God can take broken sinners who are far from Himself to people who powerfully live their new lives for God's glory in Jesus' name.Thanks for listening! visit www.gracecitychurch.com for more content.
