"One True God" | Acts 17 | Pastor Heckmann

In this first message from the pulpit at Bethlehem Lutheran Church, Pastor Heckmann draws from Acts 17 and the Apostle Paul's bold proclamation to the people of Athens — a city full of idols, temples, and a telling altar to an "unknown God."The sermon asks a pointed question: what does idolatry look like in 21st-century America? From the pursuit of wealth and fame to the idol of absolute personal autonomy, Pastor Heckmann challenges us to examine where we place our deepest trust, and then points us back to the One True God, fully revealed in Jesus Christ.Scripture References:Holy Gospel: John 14:15-21Sermon Text: Acts 17 (Paul at Athens)Ephesians 6 (our struggle is not against flesh and blood)Key Themes: Idolatry, Repentance, The Holy Spirit, Faith in Christ, Cultural ChristianityBethlehem Lutheran Church is a Bible-centered, mission-focused congregation of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, located in Palestine, Texas.Join us in person:Sunday School: 9:00 AMDivine Worship: 10:15 AMWednesday Bible Study: 6:00 PMVisit us online: belctx.org
