Clue #3 -- Head vs. Heart: 051811

Tonight we studied the life of Paul/Saul as he is transformed by the Holy Spirit. In Acts we learn of Paul being well versed in the scriptures and passionate to keep God's commands but he was still lacking true knowledge of who God was. He hated christians, hunting them down to throw them in jail or kill them. Yet he was transformed on the road to a town called Damascus as Jesus appeared to him, blinding him. Then a disciple of Jesus' named Ananias is sent to heal him and baptized Paul in the Holy Spirit. From this point on Paul was transformed. He didn't just think he knew God, he did. He didn't just think he knew what he was supposed to be doing, he was actually directed by God. We too can find direction from the Holy Spirit, he can give us the guidenance we sorely need. He can also help us to understand and know God better.

I give tonight: B-
Favorite moment: Popcorn!
