PeterHOST
Very quickly, I want to, to open your Bible to the book of Acts chapter, uh, 9 as we continue with our series.
PeterHOST
Acts 9, and then we're gonna start reading from verse 1.
PeterHOST
The Bible says, [clears throat] "Then Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
PeterHOST
And as he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven." A light shone around him from heaven.
JimHOST
And
DeanGUEST
Acts 9 is exactly that story.
DeanGUEST
Jesus comes down to Saul.
DeanGUEST
The shepherd finds the sheep.
DaltonNARRATOR
This is a constant theme throughout the Old and New Testament, but it's so particularly evident in the rise of the ministries of Peter and Paul.
DaltonNARRATOR
I wrote last week about Peter's transformation in Acts 4, and today I want to highlight the beginning of Paul's ministry in Acts 9.
DaltonNARRATOR
Although at this point in the story, he still goes by Saul.
DaltonNARRATOR
Quote, End quote.
David BrownGUEST
So we've got at least four witnesses in Scripture that the people that Paul persecuted were considered by the Holy Spirit to be the church.
David BrownGUEST
With that, look at Acts 9 and verse 4.
David BrownGUEST
Acts 9 and verse 4.
David BrownGUEST
Well, which church? Well, it was a Jewish church.
David BrownGUEST
Well, it was a pre-church church.
Christine DargHOST
And so there was an Acts chapter 10 at Cornelius's house, a great transition, a great paradigm shift.
Christine DargHOST
Even in the previous chapter in Acts 9, the risen Lord Jesus had already appeared to Saul of Tarsus, the church's persecutor, on the road to Damascus, and had commissioned him to preach to the Gentiles.
Christine DargHOST
So, Rabbi Saul became the Apostle Paul, the leader of the church age.
Christine DargHOST
The great transition had occurred.
Toby DeddenHOST
One like a son of the gods steps into the fire with them.
Toby DeddenHOST
And it reminds me of Acts 9, where Jesus appears to Paul on the road to Damascus and says, Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? Jesus wasn't persecuted.
Toby DeddenHOST
His people were.
Toby DeddenHOST
But he experiences it with them.

Esther ObeleHOST
Baskets were often used as makeshift lifts or lowering devices.
Esther ObeleHOST
For example, remember Acts 9, verse 25, Paul escaped in this exact way.
Esther ObeleHOST
Then the disciples took him by night and let him down by the wall in a basket.
Esther ObeleHOST
In 2 Corinthians 11, verse 33, he says, Paul was recounting the story, right? So the point was never about a ladder, an actual ladder or climbing step by step.
StephanieHOST
I mean, how can you not? His story is just incredible.
StephanieHOST
And I'm going to read to you from Acts about his conversion.
StephanieHOST
So I'll put some stuff in the show notes too.
StephanieHOST

StephanieHOST
Acts, the book of Acts, Acts of the Apostles tells the story of essentially the founding of the Christian church, how the message of Jesus was spread, was shared.
StephanieHOST
I'm going to read you a little bit here.
StephanieHOST
Also all the letters.
StephanieHOST
I mean, I think Acts, the book of Acts might be I mean, I have so many favorite parts of the Bible, but the book of Acts is definitely something that I just get so inspired reading because it's incredible to see the rigor and the beauty that all of the disciples are, you know, enduring for Christ.
David GuzikHOST
Today, let's talk about doing what Jesus did.
David GuzikHOST

David GuzikHOST
When he had come, they brought him to the upper room.
David GuzikHOST
And all the widows stood by him weeping, showing the tunics and garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them.
