Holy Transformed Acts 9:1-20

Today we look at the popular conversion story of Saul to Paul. Saul a religious leader who persecuted Christ followers is met by Jesus in a holy encounter while on the road to Damascus. For 3 days he is temporarily blinded and fasts completely from food and water. God sends along a disciple named Ananias to find him and lay hands on him. With this, Paul regains his site, is baptized and enjoys a meal before starting on his ministry journey to Gentiles, synagogues and Kings. If God can meet Saul where he was at and totally transform his life, there is hope for all of us as well!
