Message summary & scripture references
Kanye West and his conversion to Christianity have garnered many headlines and many people are talking, wondering if it is real or a publicity stunt. I have been asked my thoughts on it, but I needed to wait and watch a little before I shared my thoughts on this. In today’s message, I am ready to share my thoughts from a scriptural perspective.
John 21:20-22 NLT
[20] Peter turned around and saw behind them the disciple Jesus loved-the one who had leaned over to Jesus during supper and asked, “Lord, who will betray you?”
[21] Peter asked Jesus, “What about him, Lord?”
[22] Jesus replied, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? As for you, follow me.”
Matthew 28:18-20 NLT
[18] Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth.
[19] Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
[20] Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Acts 9:1-2 NLT
[1] Meanwhile, Saul was uttering threats with every breath and was eager to kill the Lord’s followers. So he went to the high priest.
[2] He requested letters addressed to the synagogues in Damascus, asking for their cooperation in the arrest of any followers of the Way he found there. He wanted to bring them-both men and women-back to Jerusalem in chains.
Acts 9:11-14 NLT
[11] The Lord said, “Go over to Straight Street, to the house of Judas. When you get there, ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul. He is praying to me right now.
[12] I have shown him a vision of a man named Ananias coming in and laying hands on him so he can see again.”
[13] “But Lord,” exclaimed Ananias, “I’ve heard many people talk about the terrible things this man has done to the believers in Jerusalem!
[14] And he is authorized by the leading priests to arrest everyone who calls upon your name.”
Acts 9:26 NLT
[26] When Saul arrived in Jerusalem, he tried to meet with the believers, but they were all afraid of him. They did not believe he had truly become a believer!
Acts 9:15-16 NLT
[15] But the Lord said, “Go, for Saul is my chosen instrument to take my message to the Gentiles and to kings, as well as to the people of Israel.
[16] And I will show him how much he must suffer for my name’s sake.”
