    Acts 22 Bible Study | The Power of a Transformed Testimony

    In this Bible study on Acts 22, we examine Paul’s defense before the crowd in Jerusalem and the testimony of his dramatic encounter with Jesus. Paul’s story reminds us that sincere passion does not necessarily equal truth—we must remain willing to let Jesus correct even our most deeply held beliefs.We also explore the relationship between conversion and calling, the public witness of baptism, the continuing work of the Holy Spirit, and the power of a transformed life. Paul does not merely present an argument for Christianity; he points to what Christ has done in him: “I was blind, and now I see.”Acts 22 also confronts us with difficult questions: Whom would we rather exclude from God’s family? Are we asking Jesus to bless our plans, or allowing him to choose our mission?
