2: Renewed Purpose

God has created each of us with a plan for our lives. We are his handiwork and he longs for us to take part in the good work that he has for us to do. However, living in God's new plan for us means letting go of our old plan. In the book of Acts, we see a man named Saul who is persecuting the early church. He does it with zeal; he lives for it. But then, Saul encounters Jesus along the road to Damascus and he is transformed. His purpose is renewed as he no longer is hunting down Christians, but becomes a church planter and writes a large portion of the New Testament.
