Saul on the Road to Damascus – July 21, 2024

Pastor Aimee Mayol 

Acts 9:1-9 (CSB) 

9 Now Saul was still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord. He went to the high priest 2 and requested letters from him to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any men or women who belonged to the Way, he might bring them as prisoners to Jerusalem. 3 As he traveled and was nearing Damascus, a light from heaven suddenly flashed around him. 4 Falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?” 5 “Who are you, Lord?” Saul said. “I am Jesus, the one you are persecuting,” he replied. 6 “But get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.” 7 The men who were traveling with him stood speechless, hearing the sound but seeing no one. 8 Saul got up from the ground, and though his eyes were open, he could see nothing. So they took him by the hand and led him into Damascus. 9 He was unable to see for three days and did not eat or drink. 

IF I DESIRE CHANGE, I MUST:

1. Keep my focus on Jesus 

Psalm 18:2 (CSB)

The Lord is my rock,
my fortress, and my deliverer,
my God, my rock where I seek refuge,
my shield and the horn of my salvation,
my stronghold.

2. Understand transformation is not about my circumstances. 

John 16:33 (CSB)

I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. You will have suffering in this world. Be courageous! I have conquered the world.”

Matthew 12:34 (CSB)

For the mouth speaks from the overflow of the heart.

3. Be willing to ask, “who are You, Lord?”

Luke 19:10 (CSB)

For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save the lost.

John 10:10 (ESV)

…I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.
