Paul’s Conversion
All of us need to encounter the glory of Jesus to become who we are meant to be, and do what we were meant to do.

Paul continues to “Go” and “proclaim the gospel,” demonstrating for us the principles for fulfilling the life purpose Jesus has given to us.
The Gospel to Athens
Paul brings the message of Jesus into an idol-dominated secular culture in a way that sets the pattern for us today.
