The Hunter Hunted

If you haven't ever been to BLDG28 Church, you need to come and check it out. The people of BLDG28 are truly on a mission to see the body of Christ move into the community and consume it for the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Pastor Aaron Currin has been preaching through the Book of Acts. This past week he preached on the conversion of Saul/Paul.

Did you know that the name Saul meant "mighty" and Paul means "weak?"

This certainly changes my view of 1Corinthians 1:27, "But God chose to use the foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong..."



This sermon also really hit me hard with the doctrine of UNCONDITIONAL ELECTION. If you are struggling with whether you believe God's election is corporate and conditional or individual and unconditional you have to read what Paul says about his conversion in Galatians 1:11-15.

We also see how important prayer is in our lives and the lives of those you may never know. At the death of Stephen, we see Saul holding the coats of those stoning Stephen, but we see Stephen praying for those who are killing him. God answers Stephen's prayer by converting Paul on the road to Damascus.

Take some time to listen to this sermon, and hopefully we will see you next week to worship with us at BLDG28 Church.
