Jesus and the Antagonist

This message explores the dramatic transformation of Saul in Acts 9 and asks a powerful question: do you want to make a difference in the world? Through Saul’s encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus, we see that making an impact doesn’t start with having it all figured out—it starts with obedience. Saul didn't know he’d write most of the New Testament or preach across the world. He simply took the next step when Jesus said, “Rise and go.” The message breaks down how we’re all called to something—some person, place, or group—and that calling often starts with one act of faith. Like Saul and Ananias, we may hesitate, feel unprepared, or even suffer for it, but when we trust God with each step, He equips us with strength, purpose, and the opportunity to truly change lives. The call is simple: listen for God's voice, respond with “Here I am,” and take the next faithful step.
