4 SCRIPTURE READINGS Lesson - Acts 9: Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the Lord s disciples. He went to the high priest 2 and asked him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any there who belonged to the Way, whether men or women, he might take them as prisoners to Jerusalem. 3 As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. 4 He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? 5 Who are you, Lord? Saul asked. I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting, he replied. 6 Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do. 7 The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless; they heard the sound but did not see anyone. 8 Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing. So they led him by the hand into Damascus. 9 For three days he was blind, and did not eat or drink anything. 10 In Damascus there was a disciple named Ananias. The Lord called to him in a vision, Ananias! Yes, Lord, he answered. 11 The Lord told him, Go to the house of Judas on Straight Street and ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying. 12 In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias come and place his hands on him to restore his sight. 13 Lord, Ananias answered, I have heard many reports about this man and all the harm he has done to your holy people in Jerusalem. 14 And he has come here with authority from the chief priests to arrest all who call on your name. 15 But the Lord said to Ananias, Go! This man is my chosen instrument to proclaim my name to the Gentiles and their kings and to the people of Israel. Gospel - John 5: Jesus gave them this answer: Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does. 20 For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does. Yes, and he will show him even greater works than these, so that you will be amazed. 21 For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son gives life to whom he is pleased to give it. 22 Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son, 23 that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him. 24 Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life. 25 Very truly I tell you, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live. 26 For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself. 27 And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man.
5 ERIC S PONDERINGS What are your summer plans? What does your life look like over the next three months? 2. What does life look like for someone before they come to know Jesus? 3. Jesus radically broke into Paul s life and changed him. How is the Gospel changing you now? Name one big way, and one small way. 4. After Jesus changed Paul, He began to prepare Paul to be a light to the Gentiles. How is God preparing you to be used in the Kingdom? 5. Are there people you know who were once like Saul, far from Christ? How can you reach out to that person with the heart of Christ and the seeds of the Gospel? 6. Once that person experiences Christ s salvation, how can you continue to disciple that person to grow?

The topic of money may be the most important discussion that churches are not having. The sad truth is that we re often reinforcing the idea that Christianity is based on assenting to a belief system, but we re hesitant to be too vocal about how that affects someone s pocketbook. In the end, Martin Luther was right: There are three conversions necessary to every man: the head, the heart, and the purse. Jesus discussed money constantly. Even when it wasn t the topic at hand, he used it as a prop in parables to make other spiritual points. It makes complete sense; our priorities are manifested in the way we spend, save, give, and value money. There isn t a better indicator of our true spiritual state than how we use our resources. Jesus wasn t kidding when he said, For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. - Luke 12:34 When people give more to their church, they become more emotionally invested. When people are more emotionally invested, the church grows. It really is that simple. - Faith s Stewardship Team Our church isn t held back in growth because we don t receive enough money from offerings; we might be held back in growth because...
