Acts 9:1 - 9:25

ActsSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg presents an analysis of Acts 9, a chapter that details the conversion of Paul, a central figure in Christianity. Gregg explains that the story of Paul's encounter with Jesus is told three times in the book of Acts, though with slight variations. He also notes that Paul's conversion led him to understand the concept of the church as the body of Christ, and that hurting Christians only hurts Jesus. Gregg further explores the skepticism that Paul faced as a professed apostle and highlights the praise given to the church in Ephesus for their actions in testing and exposing false apostles.
