We opened our worship with hearty greetings and the song “Jesus Is All the World to Me”. Our pastor brought a message to us titled “Jesus Finds Paul” a familiar passage from Acts 9:1-18. Why is Paul’s conversion in the Word? He was the worst of the worst and yet he was saved by God and used by God in a mighty way. It is our nature to run from God, but He pursues us because He loves us with an everlasting love. There is no one that God can’t save.
