Paul's Christian Journey

The church started with 12 apostles, but God soon added others. One of these was the man Saul who greatly persecuted the church. In this sermon Mr. Smith takes us through the journey Saul the persecutor took to become Paul the dynamic apostle who wrote much of the New Testament.
