As we consider this text we first look at the man. Paul was transformed by Jesus Christ. He had opposed the gospel; he had persecuted the church. But when Christ met him on the road to Damascus he was changed and was surrendered to Christ, desiring above everything else to know Him better and serve Him diligently.
We then see the message. He was not bringing a message to make people feel good about themselves, but was preaching the gospel of Christ which brings hope to fallen sinners. Every doctrine which he taught and every practical admonition he gave was connected to the person of Jesus Christ.
And then we see the method. He was not depending on oratorical ability or philosophical explanation, he was depending on the power of the Spirit to use the message effectively.

Welcome to the Baptist Bible Hour! Motivated by a desire for God's glory, we exist to call men and women back to the beauty and sufficiency of the Bible. As God's perfect message to every man, woman, and child, this book stands alone in its majesty throughout history and in its contemporary relevancy.
For many people, even Christians, there is a persistent and tragic disconnect between the narrative and instruction that they see in the Bible, and the problems, challenges, and opportunities that they experience in their daily lives. It is our purpose to bridge this great divide with teaching that has depth and gravity, but is at the same time accessible and relatable. To this end, for over 50 years the Baptist Bible Hour has been broadcasting the Word of God, with a particular emphasis on the sovereignty of God in personal salvation and in every detail of life.
