Paul: From persecutor, to Christian, to humble leader.
This study is created specifically for men, can be used for personal or group use, and is full of thought-provoking questions.
Overview
Leadership is an oft-discussed topic that is rarely defined especially from a biblical perspective. Sometimes leaders are chosen based on past actions. Sometimes they are chosen based on future promises. Usually, people presume that leaders possess all of the necessary skills before they even assume their leadership role. And rarely does anybody expect leaders to actually lead from the frontlines.
Enter Saul a man whom the early church feared because of his treatment of Christians. And even after he became one of them, they weren t fully convinced that he could be trusted. This study will examine how Saul, who was called Paul after his conversion to Christianity, became a godly leader, and how he led by the way he lived.
