✝️ Did Paul preach the same gospel as Peter? Acts 9 reveals a stunning turning point — Saul's conversion was just the beginning of a far greater revelation.
📖 In this verse-by-verse study through Acts 9 and Galatians 1, we follow Saul of Tarsus from his dramatic conversion on the road to Damascus, through his time with Ananias, his early preaching in the synagogues, and into the mysterious three-year period in Arabia — where God privately revealed to Paul the doctrines of grace. This lesson shows why Paul's gospel is distinct from the Kingdom Gospel preached by Peter and the twelve, and why that distinction matters for every believer today.
🔑 Key Topics Covered:
• What did Saul actually believe at the moment of his conversion — Acts 9
• Who was Ananias, and why was he still keeping the Law — Acts 9 & 22
• Why Paul preached in the synagogue first, not to Gentiles — Acts 9:20
• The Kingdom Gospel vs. the Gospel of Grace — what's the difference?
• Paul's three years in Arabia at Mount Sinai — Galatians 1:17
• Why Paul never consulted the twelve apostles for his revelation
• What Peter finally admitted about Paul's epistles — 2 Peter 3:15-16
• How God uses circumstances to redirect His servants — Acts 9:23-25
