The Knowledge of God Revealed (Acts 17:16-35)
from Trails Church · host Trails Church Winnipeg
You and I aren’t neutral towards God …We are either worshipping Him or rebelling against Him. That’s the honest truth that Paul preaches to those in Athens in Acts 17:16–34. Athens, as we know, was as the intellectual capital of the world… thinkers, philosophers, culture-shapers everywhere. And when Paul arrived into this city, he:1) studies the culture.2) understands the people.3) And then drops truth right in the middle of it.Preaching:👉 You don’t actually know God.👉 You’re worshipping what you don’t understand.👉 And the God you’ve ignored? He’s now calling you to repent.Bold. Direct. Unapologetic.And here’s the tension we’re stepping into:We live in a culture just as “spiritual”… just as thoughtful… just as full of idols.So the main question we will be weeerlting with is: how do we speak about Jesus in that world?Things to think about:1) What are the “idols” people around me are already giving their lives to?2) Am I actually paying attention to my culture—or just reacting to it?Things to pray about:1) That God would open eyes to truly know Him—not just think about Him2) That we’d grow in clarity and courage to speak about Jesus in everyday conversationsThis one will sharpen you. 🔥
