Act 17:15
And those conducting Paul brought him to Athens. And receiving a command to Silas and Timothy to come to him with all speed, they departed.
Act 17:16 But awaiting them in Athens, Paul's spirit was pained within him, seeing the city full of idols.
Act 17:17 Then indeed he addressed the Jews in the synagogue, and those worshiping, and daily in the market, to those happening to be
there
. Slide7
Act 17:18
And certain philosophers from the Epicureans and from the Stoics met him. And some said, What will this babbler say? And others said, He seems to be an announcer of foreign demons (because he preached Jesus and the resurrection to them).
Act 17:19 And taking hold of him, they led
him
to the
Areopagus
, saying, Are we able to know what
is
this new doctrine of which you speak? Slide8
Act 17:20
For you bring certain strange things to our ears, therefore we are minded to know what these things mean.
Act 17:21 (For all the Athenians and strangers who were
there
spent their time in nothing else except to tell or to hear something newer.) Slide9
Act 17:22
And standing in
the
middle of the
Areopagus
, Paul said, Men, Athenians, I see that you
are
fearful of gods in everything.
Act 17:23 For
as I
passed by and saw the things you worship, I also found an altar with this inscription: TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Not knowing then whom you worship, I make Him known to you. Slide10
Act 17:24
The God who made the world and all things in it, since He is Lord of Heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands,
Act 17:25 nor is served with men's hands,
as though
He needed anything,
since
He gives life and breath and all things to all. Slide11
Act 17:26
And He has made all nations of men of one blood to dwell on all the face of the earth, ordaining fore-appointed seasons and boundaries of their dwelling,
Act 17:27 to seek the Lord, if perhaps they might feel after Him and find Him, though indeed
He
is not far from each one of us. Slide12
Act 17:28 For in Him we live and move and have our being, as also certain of your own poets have said, For we are also His offspring. Slide13

Is having the right doctrine more important than being known as a loving person?Slide28
Is being able to defend the Bible and our faith from a rational perspective more of an issue than taking care of the poor and needy?Slide29
Is presenting an image of having it all together a better witness than letting people see your flaws and brokenness AND your absolute need for redemption and forgiveness?Slide30
