- Before he became a follower of Jesus Christ, Saul of Tarsus stopped at nothing to viciously persecute God’s people. In this sermon, R.C. Sproul walks us through Saul’s life-changing encounter with the Lord on the road to Damascus, marveling at God’s grace in transforming one of the church’s fiercest enemies into one of its greatest Apostles.

Ligonier ministries as a former orthodox jew i loved the sermon of pauls conversion. I am disheartened to see christians calling r c sproul a liar and then people telling me not to listen to him. I cannot believe these people who think they know more than r c sproul who was a highly educated man in many ways. I will call.these people the word r c sproul used which is oxen. R c sproul is a gift from god who i respect. I am constantly learning from and i will continue to watch r c sproul. Someone told me the lord brings a sword to divide people that do not fully believe. And now i can discern that. I thank you beyond measure for letting me know god through the man of r c sproul. May god give many blessings to your ministry. Amen.
Who are these people that reject the truth from the greatest theologian of the late 20th & early 21st century. I will tell you who they are: fools. Actually, the truth that RC presents is offensive to anyone who will perish. To those appointed to life his theology is recognized as authentic truth designed to further the sanctification of his flock, that is, to “Feed the sheep.” He recognizes that salvation is of the Lord and all the evangelizing in the world will not draw one person to salvation because that is Christ’s function.
@@tweakerfreaker18 thank you for writing to me. You are a beloved of the lord. R c sproul was a brillant man in that he was not only educated but was able to touch so many hearts. Believe me that it hurts me to see these fools say untrue things about a good man of god. I hope one day to see and talk to r c sproul and you in heaven. Where the rest of these fools will be is up to them and how they believe. I am grateful to r c sproul. I am a former orthodox jew who is now a christian and because of r c sproul i am living and loving christ. Have a blessed day. Amen.
RC Sproul understands and submits to the the holiness and sovereignity of God more than any other you will search for. Do not concern yourself with the comments of scoffers.
@@lauramonroe7008 thank you for your kind words. I listen to a lot of r c sproul videos and i learn so much that i am amazed. He was a special person and blessed by the lord to give to this world knowledge and the true love of god. I hope i meet him in heaven. It is nice to hear from a good person who also likes r c sproul. Many blessings to you. Amen.
@@lauramonroe7008 I would never. He has been a mentor and role model for me since 2008. Everything he has ever taught has been deeply grounded in his Christian humility, his understanding of the holiness of God, and his huge responsibility to us who follow him.
Amen! Excellent biblical sermon by the late Dr. R.C. Sproul. Praise Christ. ❤
A chosen vessel!
When God wants to drill a man,
And thrill a man,
And skill a man
When God wants to mold a man
To play the noblest part;
When He yearns with all His heart
To create so great and bold a man
That all the world shall be amazed,
Watch His methods, watch His ways!
How He ruthlessly perfects
Whom He royally elects!
How He hammers him and hurts him,
And with mighty blows converts him
Into trial shapes of clay which
Only God understands;
While his tortured heart is crying
And he lifts beseeching hands!
How He bends but never breaks
When his good He undertakes;
How He uses whom He chooses,
And which every purpose fuses him;
By every act induces him
To try His splendor out-
God knows what He’s about.
“And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.” Acts 18:4
When God drills a man
When Saul of Tarsus became Paul on that road to Damascus. Never forget Dr. Sproul’s preaching and teaching. I won’t forget what Jesus did. Jesus, “Saul, why are you persecuting me”? Saul, “Who are you, Lord”? “I am Jesus”. Lord, what do You want me to do? Saul opens his eyes, gets up and is blind. He is led to Damascus. 3 days no sight, hunger, thirst in Damascus. Saul turned upside down, blinded by the light from heaven. We have been turned upside down, a threat to no one, the Word Paul writes communicates to us this day. To love and having seen the Light of Christ. Still gripped in this Sermon. All the Glory to God. ♥️✝️
Yes he had the free will to reject the gospel only that the grace of God made Paul willing and able to receive the gospel!!
No Freewill involved. God did it all .

Paul is breathing in that which surrounds him, becoming more viscious with each word against Christians. This is where we can see what is happening today with everyone via the internet. People are given a 15 second snapshot of an encounter and they are immediately turned into a Saul like figure. Whether it be child cruelty or pro-choice advocacy. Whatever side you choose in a fevered mind you are Saul until you have measured your feelings against your internal righteousness, which exists in all of us. People are being manipulated to become vicious like Saul. I don't need to list the ways media and social media are doing this; but, it is a dangerous and desperate gambit being played by the forces of evil, because we can all become Paul, if only we knew there was redemption and salvation.
Congrats on 700k🎉
Godnew the heart of paul
Agree with your hotel card pix. P2 and I each have the Marriott Boundless and IHG cards...thinking about Hyatt.
The irony is Paul goes blind and that is when his eyes are opened. When we go blind to the world that is when we see God.
