If you pull the idea of hell out of its context in the bible then you can do all sorts of reworking on the doctrine. But if you have a correct, biblically sound perspective on what hell represents and why it is present, then you will find a sobering, but beautiful doctrine.

In recent days a new controversy popped up regarding the nature of hell. Does God consign an unbeliever to an eternity of suffering or does He do this for an ordained amount of time and then the person is simply destroyed in totality? Many opinions are happening online and yet not a lot of helpful teaching. This is the beginning of a short series to remedy this.

Paul finds himself in trouble yet again because of the gospel. This time he is taken to the formal court of Athens to be judged by the leading religious philosophers regarding this new teaching they think they hear. How will Paul respond? What will be his approach to those who are not schooled in the Scripture in any way?

Paul had to flee Berea due to unbelieving Jews who came over from Thessalonica to denounce and attack him. The result is that he finds himself in Athens, Greece alone. Here we find this man of God faced with an overtly pagan world and we see how it affects him at the deepest levels of his soul.

Paul and Silas travel to Thessalonica and Berea with the goal of bringing the gospel to first the Jews and then the Gentiles. And the response is quite similar to that of Philippi, some Jews believe, while many Gentiles also come to faith. But things are not peaceful because when people genuinely embrace the gospel tensions rise due to new devotion and dedication. In this sermon we see how the one gospel message will always provoke two different reactions.

In the story of Paul in Thessalonica we have a beautiful example of how to lead a person to Jesus Christ. This is often a genuine struggle by people who know and love the gospel. In this sermon we consider several simple steps to keep in mind as we try to share the gospel.
