Paul’s Early Years: Called to Follow Jesus

Acts, Philippians, Galatians, selected verses

Every Christian has had a call to follow Jesus. How did you hear your call? Saul’s call was so loud and clear he couldn’t ignore it. So how did Saul become Paul? Who is this second most influential person in the New Testament? Where was he from, how was he educated, what was his personality that made him uniquely suited for the work God called him to do? Why and how did God choose this instrument to carry the message to Gentiles and Jews alike?

Reflection Questions: How has God uniquely equipped and gifted you for the particular ministry God calls you to? Who is your Barnabas and whose Barnabas will you be?
