Big Idea: With heartfelt concern, we persuade and teach people to turn from idols to the living God through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. 

Discussion Questions: 

1. Do you agree that there are no truly non-religious people, only different devotions? What are some “respectable” idols in our culture or church context?

2. The Epicureans sought pleasure; the Stoics sought control. When life gets hard, which do you tend to rely on more—and why?

3. The resurrection exposes idols because they cannot deal with death or judgment. What are common substitutes people trust instead of God, and where do they fall short?

4. Acts 17 ends with mocking, delaying, or believing.
