260 - “It Is Hard For You To Kick Against The Goads”

What this episode covers

Overview - “It is hard for you to kick against the goads”. Acts 9-1-9. In our message today we take a look at an encounter that Jesus Christ has with Saul, who is an evil religious leader who is out to destroy the followers of Jesus Christ, or “The Way” as Christianity was called in those days. Saul encounters Jesus on the road to Damascus, actually right before he and some travel companions are about to go into the city of Damascus armed with letters from the High priest giving them permission to arrest all those they find there that are of Christ, allowing Saul to bring these hardened criminals back to Jerusalem so that they could be tried for their crimes of loving God and following Jesus Christ. Why is Saul so against the followers of Jesus Christ? What does Christ say to Saul when they meet on the road? How does Saul respond to Christ after they meet? What in the world does it mean to kick against the goads? I answer all of these questions and much more, in this message titled, “It is hard for you to kick against the goads”. May God bless you as you seek Him Pastor Ed.
