What are some of the events that have happened so far in the book of Acts?
Matthias replaces Judas
The Holy Spirit fills Jews at Pentecost and thousands are converted to Christ
Apostles are arrested because of jealousy by the high priest and then freed by an angel
Seven deacons are chosen
Stephen is arrested, gives his speech and later stoned
Stephen’s stoning begins a persecution of Christians

God’s chosen instrument ()
so that if he found any belonging to the Way, men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem
God’s faithful servant ()
God’s dramatic Renewal ()
Conclusion
Summary
God chose Saul even when it did not seem like it to everyone else.
He was God’s “chosen instrument”.
()
God used Ananias to bring about the transformation of Paul even though he could have done so himself.
Lastly, God can transform us to the point where although we may look the same on the outside, there is evidence of complete renovation in our conviction.
Application
Sometimes we may wonder if God has chosen us.
To tell you the truth he has chosen all of us to carry out the mission of sharing the message of reconciliation with him to those who do not know it.
Not only does he choose us to be his instruments, but we are to be used to transform others just like Ananias.
Lastly, people will know we are different when we have a complete renewal.
