Mike Harrelson - A Heart for the City | Acts 17:16-34

Mike Harrelson - August 2nd 2026 Who in your life is God putting on your heart right now? When Paul walked through Athens, he saw a city full of idols—and his heart was deeply distressed. But that burden didn't lead him to condemn the people around him. It moved him toward them with compassion. Paul showed up. He listened. He asked questions. He built relationships. And when the opportunity came, he proclaimed the truth about Jesus and the resurrection. We may never stand on Mars Hill surrounded by philosophers, but we all have places where God has already put people in front of us: our workplaces, neighborhoods, kids' practices, coffee shops, and dinner tables. The question is whether we're willing to engage them. You don't have to force an outcome or have every answer. You can love people, listen well, share the good news, and trust the Holy Spirit with what happens next. So who is God putting on your heart—and how will you engage them?
