The Conversion of Paul: Dust to Glory with R.C. Sproul

Summary

Luke wrote Acts to defend the authenticity of Paul's apostleship, as he was a dominant figure in the book and faced skepticism due to his prior persecution of Christians. The sermon highlights the three core criteria for apostleship: being a disciple, an eyewitness of the resurrection, and having a direct call from Christ. The takeaway is that Paul's direct and immediate call from Christ, confirmed by the early apostles, uniquely qualified him, despite his initial opposition to the faith.
