Intro: Last week we look at the story of the man Ananias (disciple) that in a vision, the Lord called him to go to the house where Saul (Paul) was.
(Elab what happen with him) there he laid hands on Saul, he recieved his sight, the was baptized, by Ananias.
Saul Immediately he began to preach the gospel of Jesus.

Immediately he began to preach the gospel of Jesus.
When the Jews heard about what he was doing (Elab on their surprise) they came after him to kill him.

In the book of Gal Paul tells of his time in Arabia (3 years) where the Lord prepared him.
Then he went to Jerusalem.
()
Where we are now in Acts, we come to the life of Paul 12 years after his conversion.
In VS 26 we see the term Christian used for the first time.
(We will get back to this)
The term Christian is used very loosely today.
By that I mean, most people don’t know what it really means to be a Christian.
There a lot of people who call themselves Christians, but they most likely are not.
Some may call themselves Christians for whatever reasons.
The name “Christian caught on after the first century church began to grow.
Jews and Gentiles were being saved.
They were not called Christian because of their conversion.
We are not told exactly why.
One reason; they talked about“the Christ” they were called the Christ people, so they became “Christians”.
They were Christ like.
It had to do with the way they conducted themselves.
So, the question for people today is, what is a Christian?
Or what do you do to become a Christian?
You don’t become a Christian be coming to church.
Not by being baptized, helping people or doing good thing, or even believing in God.
The only way to become a Christian is by putting your faith and trust in Jesus, repenting .......
That is the easy part.
But that’s not where it stops, that’s where is actually begins.
This where your life of discipleship starts.
A disciple is a life long leaner, a follower of Jesus.
He is always with you, and go where He leads.
Being a Christian is your position is Christ.
Discipleship is our life for Christ.
