For Kids: People in this world do all kinds of different things to try to find out what God is like? Some people go on great journeys. Some people isolate themselves and try to quiet their minds to figure him out. Some people eat or drink certain things to try to figure him out. But God has already told us where we can go to find out what he is like. We go to his church. What are some ways we can discover what God is like when gathered with the church?  
For Discussion: 

• Paul used the words, blasphemer, persecutor, and insolent to describe himself. Why did he use such harsh language? What point was he trying to make?  
• Why is Paul’s conversion story so important for the Christian church today?  
• Paul says that he was saved in his ignorance and unbelief. Why did these two characteristics not excuse him before God? What do those characteristics tell us about who God saves and how?  
• What aspects of God’s character did Paul display in his recounting of his conversion?  
• No Christians today serve as apostles in the way Paul did, but every Christian’s conversion story does share similarities to Paul’s. What are those similarities?  
• Why did Paul interrupt his argument with the statement in verse 17?  
• Paul’s command in verse 20, to deliver these men to Satan, is a shocking one. Why is it reasonable and rational in light of his previous teaching in 1 Timothy?
