Embody the Faith, Spark Spiritual Convos | Acts 17 16-34 - Clint Leavitt

The resurrection isn’t the end of the story: it’s the beginning of the revolution. Following Easter, join us for our Sunday gatherings at Midtown as we explore the book of Acts, which follows the earliest years of the church and provides a profound glimpse into the revolutionary nature of the Kingdom of God. This isn’t simply the start of a new religious sect that we reflect on appreciatively; it isn’t simply another social group we recall and draw inspiration from; it is the reporting of the cosmic drama of God and humanity, together in partnership to bring flourishing to all things, the same cosmic drama we participate in today. This is the remarkable next of the resurrection. Listen as Pastor Clint examines Paul's interactions in Athens, and how we can learn to engage our own culture today by going where Paul goes, seeing what Paul sees, and doing what Paul does.

There is no such thing as not worshiping. Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship.” -David Foster Wallace, "This Is Water" 5.
