What difference does Jesus make in our life? Does anything really change when Jesus moves in?
I've been studying Acts 9:19-31 this week in preparation for my preaching assignment this Sunday.
The great sin of the church today is summed up as a spirit of apathy and a sense of lethargy. We seem to be content with watching the world fend for herself while mankind is decaying in its sin. We are more concerned with our image and label but humanity is speeding toward hell.
I am convicted that the church today must come to a place of corporate repentance and consecrated renewal under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Remember, a person cannot and does not stay the same once Jesus moves in to his life. Within the study of Acts 9 we find the continuation of the spiritual transformation of Saul -- that once proud Pharisee and professional persecutor of the Lord and His church -- who has been sovereignly apprehended on the Damascus road and gloriously saved by the grace of Jesus Christ.
I hope you will study this passage and notice the Difference that Jesus makes in our life. You can listen to my previous sermon online in preparation for this week.
