Let s take a look at how he does this. Bible Story: Play the Bible Story Video Isn t it great the way God works? Saul, also known as Paul, was an enemy of the church. He hated people who followed Jesus and wanted to do them harm. He was even present when Stephen was killed. The Bible tells us that Paul approved of Stephen s killing. (Acts 8:1) Only our all-good and all-powerful God could change Paul. And that s what happened! After Jesus stopped Paul on the road, Paul was blind and basically helpless! But God s plan was working in Paul s life. God sent a man named Ananias to restore Paul s sight and pray for him. When Paul s vision came back, he was seeing things even more clearly than before. He finally understood that Jesus really is the Messiah! When God changes a person s heart to go from unbelief to belief in Jesus, we call it conversion. Conversion means change. And let me tell you, Paul was definitely changed! When we become Christians, everything about us is changed by God. Jesus saves and Changes us. From that day on, Paul became known for his bold preaching and desire to spread the news about Jesus. Paul even went on to write about half of the New Testament! Show the Main Point Repeat after me

8 Paul s Conversion and Baptism Acts 9:1-25 After Jesus died, rose from the dead, and ascended to heaven, people in Jerusalem who believed in Jesus were persecuted, or treated cruelly because of their faith. One of Jesus followers, Stephen, was even killed. A man named Saul had been there when Stephen was killed. Saul wanted to put an end to the church. He went into the believers homes, dragged them out, and put them into jail. Many believers fled the city. Saul headed to Damascus (duh MASS kuhs) to arrest believers there, but on the way, a bright light from heaven suddenly flashed around him. Saul fell to the ground. He heard a voice saying, Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me? Who are You, Lord? Saul asked. I am Jesus, He replied. Get up and go into the city. Then you will be told what you must do. Saul got up and opened his eyes, but he couldn t see! So the men who were traveling with Saul led him by the hand into Damascus. Ananias (an uh NIGH uhs), a disciple of Jesus, lived in Damascus. The Lord spoke to Ananias in a vision. He told him to go to the house where Saul was staying. Ananias knew that Saul had hurt many believers in Jerusalem and that he arrested anyone who believed in Jesus. But the Lord said, Go! I have chosen this man to take My name to Gentiles, kings, and the Israelites. Ananias obeyed the Lord. He found Saul and told Saul that Jesus had sent him to help. Ananias put his hands on Saul, and suddenly Saul could see again. Saul got up and was baptized. For the next few days, Saul stayed with the believers in Damascus. He began to go to the synagogues to preach about Jesus. Saul told the people, Jesus is the Son of God! The people were amazed. They recognized Saul and knew he had wanted to put an end to the church and all the believers. Now he was one of them! The Jews did not like Saul s message, so they planned to kill him. Saul heard what the Jews wanted to do, so one night he left the city. The disciples helped Saul escape by lowering him down the city wall in a basket. Christ Connection: Jesus appeared to Saul and changed him inside and out. Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners. (1 Timothy 1:15) Jesus called Saul, also known as Paul, who was once an enemy to Christians, to spend the rest of his life telling people the gospel and leading them to trust Jesus as Lord and Savior..
