When the Hound of Heaven Strikes

Sermon Series: Acts: When the Church was Young

Pastor Don Petker

  1. Have you ever had the sense that God was pursuing you relentlessly?
  2. This is a powerful conversion story.  What can we learn about how conversion works?
    1. Conversion always comes as a result of God’s initiative.  Where does our will come into the process?
    2. Conversion always involves an encounter with the risen Lord.  Reflect on your own conversion experience.  How did you encounter Christ?
    3. Conversion always involves surrender on our part.  This is perhaps the most challenging part of conversion.  Was this a struggle for you? Why?
    4. Conversion always includes commission.  Paul became a missionary extraordinaire.  How do you understand/practice your commission
  3. In what ways are we content with partial conversion?
