Sermon Title: When Thou Art Converted
Scripture Reference: Luke 22:31–32 (KJV)

“And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.”


In this soul-stirring sermon titled "When Thou Art Converted," Pastor Ron delivers a powerful word about the grace, patience, and purpose of God in the midst of our personal failures. Drawing from Luke 22:31–32, the message focuses on Jesus’ warning to Peter about Satan's desire to sift him like wheat — not to destroy him, but to reveal him, to break pride, and to convert him for greater use.

With both encouragement and challenge, the word reminds us that even in our lowest, most discouraged states — where we wrestle with our identity, confidence, and the silence of God — Jesus is interceding. The sermon teaches that God's goal is not to spare us from every hardship, but to ensure our faith doesn't fail during it. The promise isn't if we are converted — but when.

Listeners will be reminded that:

  • Life will sift you — but that doesn’t mean God has left you.
  • The trials we face are meant to shape us for future service.
  • True strength comes through brokenness, not in spite of it.
  • Once converted, we are called to reach back and strengthen others.

Whether you’re in the thick of your trial or emerging from it, this message declares: Don’t quit — you’re just in the conversion process.
