This coming Sunday we hear the Apostle Paul exploring his past, his zeal in the persecution of the church. He contrasts this with his future, a new life in Christ that is almost unimaginable to him. Paul embraces Jesus and abandons all to embrace our Savior, Jesus Christ. In light of Paul, we’ll explore our past and future in faith, our identity, and our purpose in Jesus Christ.

Professor Susan Eastman writes on this, “God continually wrenches us from what is comfortable and familiar and tugs us into the glorious future of the children of God.”

Synopsis: At one time or another we have certain expectations in our life. We make plans and we see our lives going a certain way, until something happens and changes those plans. Sometimes it is God leading us in a new direction. Other times God will use events in our life to mold us and shape us. In any event, one has to let go of one’s own expectations and follow God’s leading.
