God’s big picture plan to reach the world never loses sight of the one.
THE BIG PICTURE – Saul learns how to temper his passion
Saul: eager to start, ready to learn
It was 3 YEARS from Saul’s conversion until he went to Jerusalem
Acts 9:19-26 & Galatians 1:17-18
When Saul came to Jerusalem…
- The Apostles didn’t trust him
- Barnabas mediated
- He spoke boldly
- Was sent to Tarsus, for his own safety
CARING FOR THE “ONE” – Peter learns compassion
Aeneas - Acts 9:32-35
- Lydda (west of Jerusalem toward the Mediterranean)
- Similar to miracle of Jesus – Luke 5:24
- A whole town “turned to the Lord”
Tabitha - Acts 9:36-43
- Joppa (on the Mediterranean coast)
- “always doing good and helping the poor”
- “please come at once”
- “all the widows stood around him’ crying”
- “Tabitha, get up” – similar miracle - Luke 8:40-42, 49-56
- “He called for the believers, especially the widows”
