Summary
When Jesus shows up, He doesn’t just adjust a few things, He changes everything. Paul went from fighting against Christians to preaching the Gospel, and our lives should reflect that same transformation. The Gospel changes who you are, where you’re headed, and what your life is all about.
The Gospel changes people
The Gospel changes our plans
The Gospel changes our purpose
