This Sunday we come to the dramatic story of Saul’s sudden conversion. He transforms from the murderous religious extremist into the apostle and evangelist who wrote nearly all of our New Testament! Because of a personal encounter with Jesus AND because of the kindness and forgiveness of someone who was previously His enemy. Do we believe such a transformation is really possible? Can people really change so dramatically? Can we? And if so, how does such a thing happen? What if we don’t have such a huge dramatic saving moment in our own faith journey? Does that mean we are missing something in our own relationship with Jesus? We explore those questions together today, and we are blessed to do so on a Sunday when we also have a baptism of a new adolescent member.
