Acts 22 - Chosen
Pastor Wes Denham
In this sermon, Pastor Wes reflects on Paul’s conversion as described in Acts 22. Paul, then known as Saul, was on his way to persecute Christians when he encountered Jesus, who appeared to him in a great light. Blinded by the experience, Paul was led into Damascus, where Ananias, a devout believer, healed him and revealed God’s plan for Paul’s life. Pastor Wes draws parallels between Paul’s transformation and the calling of every believer. He emphasizes that God has chosen each of us to know His will, see the truth of Christ, and be witnesses to others. The sermon encourages believers to understand their divine calling and to live with purpose, knowing that God has a unique mission for each of them.
Pastor Wes discusses Paul’s transformation from a persecutor of Christians to a chosen servant of God. Acts 22 describes Paul’s encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus, where he is blinded by a great light and later healed by Ananias. Pastor Wes emphasizes that, like Paul, believers are chosen by God, called to know His will, and equipped to be witnesses for Him.
