Paul’s second missionary journey brings him to Athens, the heart of pagan worship and Greek philosophy. In this teaching from Acts 17, we trace his path from Berea and Thessalonica to Mars Hill, where he faces Epicurean and Stoic thinkers and points them to the “unknown God” they’ve missed. We look at the Acropolis, the Parthenon, and even the full-scale replica in Nashville, and talk about how a city filled with idols mirrors the idols of our own culture today.

You’ll see how Paul adjusts his message for Jews in the synagogue and Gentiles in the marketplace, why human wisdom can’t replace God’s word, and how the resurrection confronts both religion and philosophy. Most of all, this message calls us to see unbelievers as spiritually blind, approach them with kindness, and lead them toward Jesus with truth and compassion.

If this study in Acts helps you grow in understanding and love for people far from God, share it with a friend and subscribe for more verse-by-verse teaching.
