• February 16, 2025The Acts of the Risen Lord Jesus #20 - Unstoppable - The Lord of Heaven and Earth (Acts 17:16-34 )

  How do you respond to a city?

  What Paul sees

  A city full of idols

  He is greatly distressed by this

  The Lord Jesus alone deserves all our worship

  What Paul does

  He engages with people where they are (synagogue, marketplace, Areopagus)

  How do we engage with people around us?

  Merging our universes

  Crossing the ‘painline’

  What Paul says

  God is our Creator

  God will be our Judge

  God calls all people to repent

  Three things we can work on

  Love those with a different worldview

  Look for openings & opportunities to present the Christian worldview

  Know where you’re going
