Jesus Turns Things Around

SERMON REFLECTION QUESTIONS:

1. Where have you seen Jesus change your life or the life of someone else? Are there areas of your life where you still feel stuck in the same patterns of sin? How might you learn to rely more on His power to change you rather than your own strength?

2. Saul needed a Barnabas to help the church see that Jesus had truly changed his life. How can we become more like Barnabas by welcoming, encouraging, and coming alongside people who are growing in Christ? Are there people we might be tempted to define by their past rather than by what God is doing in their lives?

3. Saul’s life was radically changed by Jesus, and he immediately began

proclaiming Him to others, even when it came at great personal cost. Who are the people God has placed in your life who need to hear about Jesus? What keeps you from sharing the gospel with them, and how can Saul’s example encourage you to speak more boldly about Christ?

4. Acts 9:31 describes a church that was being built up, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, and multiplying. How can we share the comfort, encouragement, and hope of the Holy Spirit not only with one another but also with those outside the church? What would it look like for us to be a church that strengthens believers while also drawing others to faith in Jesus?
