On Sunday, February 9, 2025, at Wildwood Community Church, I preached a sermon based on Acts 9:1-18. This message was part 6 of the “Deep + Wide” sermon series. Below you will find questions related to the message for personal reflection or group discussion. You will also find audio and video from the message to listen to/watch, download or share.
Sermon Questions:
- Pray
- Read Acts 9:1-18
- In past weeks we have talked about the big growth that occurred on the macro level to the church in Jerusalem. This week we are looking at the micro story … the conversion of one man – Saul of Tarsus. How does looking at the story of Jesus building the church from these two different perspectives give you a greater appreciation for God’s grace and love?
- Saul was NOT on the road to awesome; he was on the road to awful! Yet Jesus demonstrated His love for Saul in that while he was still sinning, Jesus died for him! This is a vivid picture of salvation by God’s grace. Do you understand your own salvation to be a product of God’s grace, or do you think of your salvation more as a story of your achievement or spiritual progress?
- Is there anyone you have “written off” as unreachable by God that this story today might encourage you to pray for or evangelize anew?
- Conversion happens in a moment, but maturity happens over a lifetime. How does reflecting on the timeline for Paul’s life encourage you about God’s commitment to maturing us, not just collecting us?
