'Did Paul really mean that? Episode 2 - Better Call Saul' by Owen Lynch - May 3 2020
How much can people change? In this talk, Owen Lynch looks at the life journey of Saul, a devout Jew whose life started to be transformed by an encounter with the risen Jesus. When we look at Saul’s letters of teaching today, we might wonder why he wrote things we struggle to agree with, or missed out things we feel sure he should have taught. But when we understand his background, the change and progress in his life, we might read him differently. More importantly, we can have our own lives changed by Jesus too. How will that reshape the way we think and act?
