A change of perspective

This is the well-known story of the conversion of Saul of Tarsus, later known as the Apostle Paul. Saul is on his way to Damascus to persecute followers of  Jesus. On the way, he is felled by a blinding light and Jesus asks why he is persecuting him. Meanwhile, God speaks to a faithful follower, Ananias, who,  despite his misgivings, goes to Saul, greets him as a brother and lays hands upon him. Saul’s sight is restored and he is baptized.

This week we explore changes in perspective – whether we can change ours, whether we allow others to change and how God changes how we see things.
