Resurrection Mission Baptist Church of Berkley, Michigan, Oakland County, https://resurrectionmission.com presents Pastor Joseph Chatten addressing the subject, The Persecutor! (Gal. 1:13-14).
          The Apostle Paul explained his relationship to the church. Paul received the Gospel directly from Jesus, his ministry was divinely-given. 1 Cor. 15:1-11. Saul was rapidly being recognized as a spiritual leader in Judea. Paul consented to the murder of Stephen in Acts 8, and persecuted Christian families in Acts 9. Paul voted to kill the Christian believers. Acts 22:4-5;  26:9-11; 1 Cor. 15:9; Phil. 3:6; 1 Tim. 1:13. Paul marveled that God could save such a sinner as he. God can move on anyone he so chooses. Paul thought he was doing the right thing. Saul championed his Jewish faith. Acts 9:13-14; 22:3; 26:24. Saul the persecutor became Paul the Apostle. He took off the old and put on the new; it happened suddenly. God changed Paul and he was true to what he believed. Acts 9:1-9. Saul was on his way to Damascus to persecute Christians, but ended up preaching that the Christians were right. How could the Judaizers explain this sudden change in Paul? His conversion was an embarrassment to the Jews, but was an example of God working in his life.
