A Changed Heart - Acts

ACTS 9:1-31

In the midst of actively persecuting the new church movement, Jesus captures the heart of Saul. He is radically changed and begins his ministry to preach the message that Jesus is the Son of God. This change is hard for the early church to wrap their minds around. God uses Ananias and Barnabas to welcome Saul into the early church.
