Introduction

Who is Paul?

Paul was born a Roman citizen, in a prominent, wealthy family. He was born into a devout Jewish family in the city of Tarsus, capital of the small Roman district of Cilicia in Asia Minor. His father, a member of the ancient tribe of Benjamin, named him Saul, after Israel’s first king. (Later in life, Saul became better known by his Roman name Paul.)

Before becoming the great missionary evangelist, Paul was a member of the Pharisees, a religious party. He spent much of the first half of his life persecuting the early Christian movement. Paul was on his way to Damascus when he had a vision that changed his life.

READ Acts 9:1-19, Saul’s Conversion

Main Point of the Lesson

As said on the previous lesson, Jesus wants us to follow Him. He wants us to be part of saving the world. He wants us to share the good news with everyone. You don’t need super powers to join the Jesus League. You just need to be willing to see the light and answer the call from Jesus to follow Him and let Him lead your life.

Jesus uses unlikely heroes. Saul is a good example of how God can transformed us. Destroying the church was the direction of Saul’s life – he was obsessed with it, and ironically he thought he was doing a service to God in opposing Christianity. But, Jesus changed the direction of his life. Saul was changed from a persecutor to a preacher.

Jesus is waiting to hear from you. “Lord, if you have direction for my life, I’m open, available, and willing”. He want us to commit ourselves afresh to whatever purpose He has given us to do for His kingdom.

Are you ready to join the Jesus League?

Activity

Give each child a label that says either Stephen, Saul, or Ananias. Then tell them you are going to play a quick game that is a lot like Simon Says. If you say, “Stephen says,” only those with the Stephen tags should do it. If you say, “Saul says,” only those with the Saul tags should do it. If you say, “Ananias says,” only those with the Ananias tags should do it. Have your students stand up and get ready.
