This sermon focuses on the transformative encounter of Saul, later known as Paul, with the resurrected Jesus on the road to Damascus. It highlights how encountering the risen Lord leads to salvation, conversion, and a sense of purpose. The sermon emphasizes that like Saul, individuals today may be religious or knowledgeable about Jesus but still lack a personal encounter with Him. It urges listeners to shift from relying on their own righteousness to receiving God's grace. Drawing from Saul's experience, the sermon encourages surrendering to Jesus and recognizing His identity as the Son of God who offers salvation and grace to all. (Acts 9:1-8)
