In this message from Acts 8–9, Pastor Bobby Chandler unpacks the dramatic conversion of Saul and reminds us that God's interruptions are often His greatest acts of love.Sometimes the very thing we're praying for would actually lead us toward destruction.God sees what we cannot see.No matter where you've been or what you've done, you are never too far gone for God's grace.

Why do we keep going back to the same struggles we thought we had already overcome?In this message from Acts 8, Pastor Bobby Chandler teaches about Simon the Sorcerer and what happens when old desires, bitterness, jealousy, and hidden struggles remain in our hearts.Giving your life to Jesus happens in a moment—but transformation is a process.You may still hear the old voices. You may still face temptation. You may still struggle with things from your past. But just because you hear the old voice doesn't mean you have to obey it.God wants your whole heart.Stop hiding what needs healing, surrender it completely to Jesus, and allow Him to transform you from the inside out.Key Scriptures:Acts 7–8Mark 1:22–26Mark 5:6–7Matthew 7:21Authentic Church 2010 Clement Blvd NW Hickory, NC 28601 GIVING To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: https://authenticchurch.com/give GET CONNECTED Ready to check out Authentic Church in person?
