## Resource

In Acts 9, Saul is on his way to Damascus to imprison followers of Jesus when a light from heaven stops him in his tracks. He hears his name called, goes blind for three days, and the entire direction of his life changes. Chase Cofer walks through the story of Saul's encounter on the road to Damascus and the role of Ananias, an ordinary disciple Jesus sends to lay hands on him. It's a message about how mercy interrupts, how transformation often comes through faithful, unnamed people, and what it looks like to say "here I am" when Jesus asks something costly of us. This sermon is part of our series Church on Fire, a journey through the book of Acts.
