Paul Under Construction

(Sermon preached May 15, 2022) Acts 9:1-20 tells the story of the conversion of Paul.  He is transformed, by God, from a violent persecutor of Christians into a non-violent creator of radical communities of inclusion and love.  In this sermon, we discover that of the 13 books in the New Testament, only seven are believed to be written by the original Paul, and he was more radical than the more conservative writers that wrote later in his name.
