A Young Man Named Saul

On the Road --- Acts 7:54-8:3 Our new series that will take us through the summer has us examining the life of Paul. More than half of the New Testament bears his name, and his letters have done almost as much to shape the growth of Christianity as the Gospels themselves. We start at the beginning of his story where he oversaw the murder of Stephen as Saul, a leading figure in the persecution of the Jesus movement. But let's not look at Saul as a different person before his conversion. Let's remember the scholarship and fervor of a brilliant young Jew whose love of Scripture carried into his new ministry after the hatred left his heart. And let's not forget our place in the story of a misguided believer. Plus, our friend Demont returns to the stage to deliver a wonderful Fathers' Day prologue!
