This Bible Study examines the dramatic transformation of Saul from a zealous persecutor of the early church to a devoted follower of Jesus Christ. It highlights key scriptural accounts, particularly in Acts 7 through 9 and Galatians 1, detailing his involvement in Stephen's stoning and his subsequent blind encounter with the risen Lord on the road to Damascus. The preacher emphasizes that Saul's prior knowledge of Scripture and various divine 'pricks' prepared him for this pivotal moment of grace. Following his healing by Ananias and baptism, Saul retreats to Arabia to receive direct instruction from God before beginning his ministry. This narrative underscores the sovereignty of God in calling and equipping chosen vessels to bear His name to both Jews and Gentiles.

The Last Days.

This sermon explores the revelation of God's wrath against human ungodliness and unrighteousness as detailed in Romans 1. The speaker emphasizes that humanity is without excuse because God's invisible attributes are clearly perceived through creation, yet people willfully suppress this truth. By examining passages from Ephesians and Matthew, the text illustrates that all humans are naturally children of wrath due to sin, but believers are saved by grace through Christ. The message contrasts the inevitable judgment for those who reject God with the mercy offered to the elect, highlighting that salvation is found only in Jesus. Ultimately, the sermon calls listeners to recognize their depraved state and appreciate the sovereign remedy provided by God's grace.

The sermon emphasizes the urgent necessity of biblical repentance as a prerequisite for receiving God's blessings, drawing from Zechariah's initial message to Israel. It warns that neglecting spiritual opportunities leads to lost chances and severe consequences for individuals and their families. The speaker challenges listeners to examine their own lives for areas of disobedience and to turn away from evil immediately. Staying in God's will requires consistent obedience to His Word rather than occasional compliance. The message concludes with an encouragement to remain faithful as the study continues into Zechariah's visions.

All sin is sinful and deserves God wrath and curse, but the same sin committed by two different persons may not be equally sinful in the sight of God.
