Lesson Overview

Not only were the first disciples dramatically changed but so was one of their worst enemies. Paul was transformed from a killer of Christians into one of their chief advocates (Galatians 1:11-24). Why did this radical change take place in Paul’s life? This lesson will explore why the Christian faith has the power to change lives.
