Saul to Paul

Saul to Paul

The Church in Antioch continued to grow under the direction of God and His servants Barnabas and Saul. As they were praying, God showed them His call for them to move on to the next city. As the men ventured to Paphos they met a man named Bar-Jesus. A man filled with evil intent who held great influence over the people. When Paul and Bar-Jesus came face to face, the sorcerer was blinded by the power of God and the people came to believe the message of Jesus.

Acts 13:9
In our last episode, we heard how Herod put James to death and imprisoned Peter. It seemed the enemy had gained the upper hand, but the Church gathered in earnest prayer and God delivered Peter from his chains and dealt with Herod also, striking him down for seeking glory over God. The Church continued to grow and multiply, powered by the movement of the Spirit, the prayer of faithful Christians, and their courageous commitment to sharing the Gospel. Today we’ll hear how Saul grows in his own ministry and stands firm in the truth, defending the flock against false teachers who try to lead them astray. Let’s listen now to today’s reading from Acts.
