Sunday April 6, 2025 at the Hub City Church

Paul's Radical Conversion | Acts 9:1-19

The Gospel for All | a teaching series through Acts

Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor

Sermon Notes:

REGENERATION is the SOVEREIGN work of GOD in which He AWAKENS those who are spiritually DEAD, ENABLING them to BELIEVE in and FOLLOW Jesus.

“Divine grace does not trample on human personality. Rather the reverse, for it enables human beings to be truly human. It is sin which imprisons; it is grace which liberates. The grace of God so frees us from the bondage of our pride, prejudice, and self-centeredness as to enable us to repent and believe.” — John Stott

Titus 3:4-5 // John 6:63,65 // 1 Peter 1:3 // Ephesians 2:4-5

Lessons on Regeneration from the Apostle Paul’s Conversion:

1. EVERY CHRISTIAN, no matter how godly and mature, has a TOTALLY REBELLIOUS ‘BEFORE CHRIST’. 1 Timothy 1:15-16 // Ephesians 2:1-2

2. No one CHOOSES Jesus as Lord in their OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS; He CHOOSES us and OPENS our EYES to His GLORY when we are DEAD in our SIN.

John 15:16 // 2 Corinthians 4:6 // Ephesians 1:3-5 // Galatians 1:15-16

3. Everyone Jesus TAKES as His OWN, He TASKS with a specific ROLE in His mission.

Acts 26:12-18 // Ephesians 2:8-10

4. No one Jesus saves EVER SEES life the SAME, OLD way again.

2 Corinthians 5:17
