    The Sovereignty of God in the Salvation of Saul

    We see the conversion of Saul, the church’s persecutor, as a magnificent display of the sovereign grace of God. The Lord sought Saul from before time, through election, and sovereignly intervened in Saul’s life, though he was totally depraved and spiritually dead, raised him up from death to life through the new birth, and caused Saul to see Christ and turn to Him by faith. So too is each of Christ’s sheep saved, by the sovereign grace of God who raises them from the dead. Acts 9:1-9 “But Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked him for letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to the Way, men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. Now as he went on his way, he approached Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven shone around him. And falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?’ And he said, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ And he said, ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. But rise and enter the city, and you will be told what you are to do.’ The men who were traveling with him stood speechless, hearing the voice but seeing no one. Saul rose from the ground, and although his eyes were opened, he saw nothing. So they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus. And for three days he was without sight, and neither ate nor drank.” Sermon: “The Sovereignty of God in the Salvation of Saul” Series: Acts: Christ’s Church Built Speaker: Samuel Wente RFC Website RFC Facebook RFC Instagram RFC Youtube

    Jesus, the Scope of Scripture (Acts 8:25-35)

    Philip is sent from Samaria to a southern road from Jerusalem to Gaza, where he encounters an Ethiopian official, who cannot make out the sense of Isaiah’s prophecy of the suffering servant. Philip helps the eunuch to understand the Scriptures in light of Christ, as he preaches the good news of salvation in Christ, even through the prophet Isaiah. We see that Christ is the ultimate purpose, central thrust, and scope of all the Scriptures. Acts 8:25-35 "Now when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, preaching the gospel to many villages of the Samaritans. Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, 'Rise and go toward the south to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.' This is a desert place. And he rose and went. And there was an Ethiopian, a eunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure. He had come to Jerusalem to worship and was returning, seated in his chariot, and he was reading the prophet Isaiah. And the Spirit said to Philip, 'Go over and join this chariot.' So Philip ran to him and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet and asked, 'Do you understand what you are reading?' And he said, 'How can I, unless someone guides me?' And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. Now the passage of the Scripture that he was reading was this: 'Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter and like a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he opens not his mouth. In his humiliation justice was denied him. Who can describe his generation? For his life is taken away from the earth.' And the eunuch said to Philip, 'About whom, I ask you, does the prophet say this, about himself or about someone else?' Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning with this Scripture he told him the good news about Jesus."
