But Barnabas

This weekend we unpacked Acts chapter 9:19-31! 

 » In Saul's 5th decade of life, he writes a letter to a church stating, "that if anyone is in Christ, he or she is a NEWcreation, the old has GONE and the new has COME." He writes those words to the church because of his intense and personal struggle of seeing himself in light of God's grace. 

 » Saul does not write 1 Corinthians 13: love as protecting, trusting, hoping, persevering, and never failing, in a vacuum; he writes it out of an experience of being forgiven.
