A Transformed Life | Acts 9 | Gary Hamrick

4/23/2023
One of the most dramatic conversion stories is recorded in Acts 9 when Saul (Paul) meets Jesus on the road to Damascus. This encounter will forever transform his life. Paul will go from being a persecutor and murderer of Christians to becoming a Believer himself who will, next to Jesus, have the most profound impact on the world for Jesus. It is a testament to the transforming power of Jesus and how He can radically change a person from the inside. Pastor Gary shares Paul’s conversion story and how it applies to all of us today in a similar way because Jesus is still transforming lives!

35 years ago, Jesus snatched me from the brink of suicide and gave me new life .

[@SachelleCambria]

Praise God.

[@Shakespearelover1717]

I just love Gary Hamrick’s sermons. He is also a great humorist. Had he not been a minister, he could have been a stand-up comic.

[@annprasad3579]

Yes Pastor Gary, I am a woman now mature but than in 2004 was younger and involved heavly in a relationship, as most women do ,I was madly in love with him, then found out he was cheating on me, but than had to prove it. I did, caught them red handed and from than on, Instead of leaving him and going on my own journey , I decided to end it all, by planning , getting a gun and how to shoot him, his woman friend and myself. Then on the day that I was really planning to do that, hey presto!! Jesus used one of His angles to evangelise to me and the rest is history. Obviously there are lots of details in between but am saved and married to my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. At total peace and willing to die for His cause as I was gonna die for a man , a cheater and a deceiver, how much more should I lay my life for Jesus. By the way, I was a idol serving Hindu but now know the truth and it has set me totally free. I am not religious but a follower of Christ

[@krystal6612]

Oh my LORD AND SAVIOR THANK YOU FOR SAVING A WRETCH LIKE ME❤ IM NOTHING WITHOUT YOU ✝️🙏💜😘🥰

[@marya31625]

This is my first sermon with this church, I loved it! I will be following you from now on. I live in Central Florida and my sister in Lauderdale listens to you at her job. I will also be going back to listen to older sermons. Thank you !!!

[@leemcneil9757]

I love the way you explain the Bible...I'm all alone in my faith in Newfoundland...a newer Christian trying to learn , to understand the Bible and Jesus...your preaching is truly God sent...thank you ❤

[@sharronwolfe7711]

I never knew what the phrase “kicking against the goads” meant. Now I do! And not only that but I realize that in my struggles to eat right (trying to right my life-long struggle with food/weight), when I falter and don’t follow Him, I am kicking against the goads! I am simply inflicting more pain upon myself! May this become a “Damascus Road” experience in this struggle! Thank for teaching the Word, the whole Word, and nothing but the Word, pure and simple, so that we may apply it to our everyday lives and become a brighter beacon for our Lord!

[@eternalardour]

I cried listening to Paul's suffering, what a wonderful transformation! Jesus is a miracle worker ❤ I love you Lord God Almighty

[@elizabethyan1105]

Yes I was a Jesus hater and cursed at those that believed in Lord. Until one day Jesus showed up and my house never burned 🕎✝️🙏❤😘

[@kylebang430]

There is nothing that Christ can't heal. There's no addiction or carnal way that He can't free you from. Truly nothing is too difficult for the Lord.

[@thomasphillips5850]

Yes, totally agree. I"m also in UK and listen to Gary Hamrick almost every day (past sermons) and find his teaching so rich. I understand he'll be teaching in Oxford on 29June 2024 @ Calvary Chapel. So wish I could attend, but already have a church commitment. I hope he'll visit UK again. Thank you Lord Jesus for his wonderful ministry.

So close to DC and all that evil, you were the FIRST that I ever heard take a political stand and tie it to present day and scripture!! Shortly after I found you I stumbled on to Pastor Allen Jackson in TN and he was doing the same thing!! You both, and my local pastor are the only ones I listen to… Vodee sometimes too! God bless you all! And our Country!!🙏🛐👍❤️🇺🇸

[@user-rv2lh9xb6n]

Thank you for that great message!

[@larryibanez9049]

Paul's Hebrew name is Saul...and later was changed to Paul because the word Saul for the Greeks meant arrogant according to Pastor Biltz...As Paul was the apostle assigned to preached the Word to the Gentiles (Romans <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="673">11:13</a>) and Peter was assigned to preach to the Jews..

[@berniewijesuriya1620]

Please Sudu I like you hear to this to the end

[@alexanderbemar2637]

God orchestrated Saul's life in the beginning (memorized the Torah) and also as he transformed him to Paul.

[@annprasad3579]

Yes I was sacked for evangalising at work to a gay man and not saying anything about his sexual preference but inviting him to come and hear the Word,. He reported me , I was shocked and thel whole of the company's policies went against me
