One shared experience across all of humanity is the desire to be chosen. It’s built into who we are, whether we own it or not. For this reason, the biblical story of Saul’s encounter with Jesus is both intriguing and attractive. Saul of all people would have never chosen Jesus, but for that reason, Jesus chose him. Watch this sermon from pastoral resident Alan Charnock as we consider how, in Jesus himself being chosen, charged, and changed, we see the blueprint for Saul’s life and for our own.
