Conversion

October 5, 2025

Saul’s encounter on the road to Damascus reminds us that true conversion isn’t just a moment—it’s a transformation. God works through our experiences, resistance, and renewal to make us new creations.

As we return to our Unstoppable series through the Book of Acts, Pastor Jim explores the powerful story of Saul’s conversion in Acts 9. Once a persecutor of Christians, Saul’s encounter with Jesus reveals that conversion is more than a single dramatic event; rather, it’s a lifelong process of God shaping us through experience, breaking down our resistance, and creating a clear contrast between who we were and who we are becoming in Christ.

Drawing parallels between Paul’s journey, John Wesley’s “Aldersgate experience,” and our own paths of faith, this message reminds us that God’s grace is always at work pursuing us, convicting us, and calling us toward new life. Though the struggle between flesh and spirit remains, we are invited to “live into the new nature” and bear witness to Christ through changed hearts and transformed lives.
