Responsive Reading: Acts 9:5-19

 Leader: 5 “Who are you, Lord?” Saul asked.
“I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,” he replied.
All: 6 “Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what
you must do.”
Leader: 7 The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless; they
heard the sound but did not see anyone.
All: 8 Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he
could see nothing. So they led him by the hand into Damascus.
Leader: 9 For three days he was blind, and did not eat or drink
anything.
All: 10 In Damascus there was a disciple named Ananias. The Lord
called to him in a vision, “Ananias!” “Yes, Lord,” he answered.
Leader: 11 The Lord told him, “Go to the house of Judas on Straight
Street and ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying.
All: 12 In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias come and place
his hands on him to restore his sight.”
Leader: 13 “Lord,” Ananias answered, “I have heard many reports
about this man and all the harm he has done to your holy people in
Jerusalem.
All: 14 And he has come here with authority from the chief priests to
arrest all who call on your name.”
Leader: 15 But the Lord said to Ananias, “Go! This man is my
chosen instrument to proclaim my name to the Gentiles and their
kings and to the people of Israel.
All: 16 I will show him how much he must suffer for my name.”
Leader: 17 Then Ananias went to the house and entered it. Placing
his hands on Saul, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord—Jesus, who
appeared to you on the road as you were coming here—has sent me so
that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
All: 18 Immediately, something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and
he could see again. He got up and was baptized,
Leader: 19 and after taking some food, he regained his strength.
Saul in Damascus and Jerusalem
All: Saul spent several days with the disciples in Damascus.

Old churches must not simply stand as monuments to the past but as spiritual grandparents that have invested in the future by passing on their life to others and releasing their offspring to form new congregations. ~ unknown
