THE EARLY CHURCH — EPISODE 6: SAUL MEETS JESUS Based on Acts 9:1-22 Series: The Early Church | Episode 6 of 10 Target audience: Kids ages 7-15
There was a man named Saul. And Saul absolutely HATED my followers. The Bible says he was breathing murderous threats against them. He went house to house, dragging men and women off to prison. He watched Stephen get killed and held the coats of the people who threw the stones.
And he wasn't slowing down. He got official letters giving him permission to go to Damascus and arrest every Christian he could find.
But here's the thing about me. I don't give up on anyone.

After watching the video, see if your child can answer these questions:
What was Saul doing before he met Jesus on the road to Damascus?
Saul was the most dangerous enemy of the early church. He was breathing murderous threats, going house to house to drag believers to prison, and was on his way to Damascus with official letters to arrest more Christians.
What happened to Saul when the bright light appeared on the road?
A light brighter than the sun knocked Saul to the ground, and he heard Jesus's voice. When he opened his eyes, he was completely blind. He stayed blind for three days — no food, no water — until God sent Ananias to heal him.
Why was Ananias afraid when God told him to go to Saul?
Ananias had heard all about Saul's reputation — he knew Saul had come to Damascus specifically to arrest believers. But God told Ananias that Saul was His "chosen instrument," and Ananias obeyed despite his fear.
