Saul's Miraculous Conversion

Apr 30, 2017  •  Rev. Adrian Collins

This sermon explores the miraculous nature of coming to faith in Jesus Christ, emphasizing that conversion is not a normal human experience but a divine intervention. The pastor explains the concept of prevenient grace—God's grace that precedes and enables our salvation—and illustrates this through the dramatic conversion story of Saul (later Paul) on the Damascus Road. The message challenges the assumption that people naturally seek God, asserting instead that no one seeks God on their own; rather, God actively pursues every person through His grace. The sermon encourages believers to recognize God's hand in their own conversion stories and to remain hopeful in prayer for those who seem far from God, reminding us that if God could transform a persecutor of Christians into Christianity's greatest missionary, He can reach anyone.
