Lesson for 10/11

Hey all, the Sunday school lesson for tomorrow comes from Acts 9:19-31 its titled “Earning the right to be Heard” The lesson talks about Saul, who in verse 19 and 20 – had been with the disciples preaching the Good News of Jesus Christ. In verse 21, the people that heard Saul preach were amazed and said “is this not the man who made havoc in Jerusalem amongst those who invoked this name?..” If you read a few verses prior to tomorrow's lesson you will see that Saul was persecuting Christians. But on his road to Damascus, the Lord revealed himself to Saul (Acts 9:3-6) and he changed! Today, some of us experience people that hold others past against them. They continuously remind them of how they use to be, or don't believe a change for God has been made. As you continue to read you will see in verse 23 that the Jews plotted to kill Saul; even some of the disciples were afraid when Saul attempted to join them. To God be the glory, because he always provides a way out! In verse 27 you will see a man, by the name of Barnabas “took Saul, brought him to the apostles, and described for them how on the road he had seen the Lord, who had spoken to him, and how he had spoken boldly in the name of Jesus” Sometimes, God puts people in our lives at the right time – to love and stand up for us. No one is perfect, and we fall short at times, but as Christians we are to encourage each other. God is in the business of transforming lives every day. We should seek to care and pray for each other regardless of the past. If God can forgive people for their sins, then so should we.

God bless and be heard!
