A Converted Enemy

Originally, I had expected to focus this message specifically on Paul's conversion and how we also can experience change when we follow God. However, as I dug into the story, I was surprised at how this was not, in fact, a renaming story, and that rather than Paul just always had two names! stepping away from a renaming story allowed me to care more about the other characters in the story - namely Ananias - and how both he and Paul chose to follow God and because of that were changed. This week was a family service, so you will notice that there is a children's message at the start followed by an adult message. Though they are given a bit differently, the main point of each is the same. Start this video at 17:14 to hear the scripture reading, kids message, and adult message.
