In Week 3 of the Positioned for Purpose series, Pastor Tim walks through Paul’s powerful message at Mars Hill in Athens, focusing on Acts of the Apostles 17:24–31. Surrounded by idols, temples, and competing philosophies, Paul challenges one of the most intellectual audiences of the ancient world to do something simple—but life-altering: rethink their understanding of God.

This message explores what repentance really means—a change of mind. A realization that what we thought about God may have been incomplete, distorted, or too small. Paul reveals that God is not confined to human ideas, religious systems, or physical structures, but has made Himself known fully through a person—Jesus Christ.

As the series builds, this week brings us to a turning point: it’s not enough to search for God—we must respond when He reveals Himself.

If you’ve ever wrestled with who God truly is, or sensed that your understanding of Him might need to grow, this message will challenge and invite you to see Him more clearly. Because when we encounter the truth of who God is, everything changes.

You are not just positioned to seek God—you are positioned to know Him and make Him known.

In Week 2 of the Positioned for Purpose series, Pastor Tim continues Paul’s message at the Areopagus in Athens, focusing on Acts of the Apostles 17:26–28. After declaring that God determines the times and places where people live, Paul explains why God has arranged life this way—so that people might seek Him and discover that He is not far from any of us.

In this message, “Closer Than We Think,” we explore the deep human search for meaning, truth, and purpose. Paul describes humanity as people feeling their way through the dark, reaching out for something just beyond their grasp. Yet the remarkable truth of the gospel is that the God people are searching for is already near—closer than they realize.

Through Scripture and everyday illustrations, this message reminds us that God’s presence often surrounds us in ways we overlook. Even in places filled with religious activity, it is possible to miss the reality that God is near and inviting us to truly know Him.

As the series continues, this message prepares us for the next question Paul raises: if God is near, are we ready to let Him reveal who He truly is?

In Week 1 of the Positioned for Purpose series, Pastor Tim explores Paul’s message at the Areopagus (also known as Mars Hill) in Athens from Acts of the Apostles 17:26. Speaking to some of the most respected thinkers in the Greek world, Paul declares a powerful truth: God determines the times and places where people live.

What does that mean for us today?

In this message, we are reminded that our lives are not random and our communities are not insignificant. God has appointed our generation, established our boundaries, and placed us exactly where we are for a reason. Through the story of a small church with deep roots and faithful people, we discover that longevity becomes legacy when we step into God’s purpose for the present.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your life, your church, or your community truly matters, this message will remind you that you are not here by accident—you are positioned by God for purpose.

Join us as we explore how God decides the time, assigns the place, sustains what He starts, and sees what others overlook.
