Paul: A Personal Pentecost - Hyphen
Big Idea — After a life dedicated to enforcing the law of Moses and persecuting Christians, Paul experienced his own personal Pentecost and began proclaiming the gospel. This series calls us to our own personal Pentecost so we too can be transformed by the new-birth experience into witnesses of God’s grace.
• Week 1 — Justified by Grace
The story of Paul’s conversion shows that no matter who you are, where you go, or what you do, God’s grace can reach you. You cannot be too bad nor can you be good enough. We all meet on level ground at the foot of the cross in need of His grace.
• Week 2 — The Sacrifice of Service
Paul was desperate to share the gospel. This lesson will emphasize identifying the value of God’s work in our lives, finding contentment no matter where God places us, and following the important call to reach the lost.
• Week 3 — Letters of Revelation
The epistles of Paul had a centralized message: love God, love people, leave the past behind, never give up, and allow the gospel to continually transform you—a message especially pertinent for Christians today.
• Week 4 — The Hope of Glory
Paul showed us that through a relationship with Jesus, we can overcome sin and live victoriously.
