     | 2,439 views

    Christ came to make His Father known. Mankind was created to worship. If God is not clearly revealed, man will create something to worship. We are called to reveal the Unknown God to the world!

    Sermon – Paul’s Revelation of the Unknown God Scripture Lesson-Acts 17:16-33 “While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, he was deeply troubled by all the idols he saw everywhere in the city. 17 He went to the synagogue to reason with the Jews and the God-fearing Gentiles, and he spoke daily in the ...read more

    The focus of this sermon is Paul's observational skills and how Christians can also practice observing people and culture in a way that helps us connect them to the Gospel and lead them back to God.

    Sermon Date 11-09-2014 Areopagus (Chuck Gohn) How many of you detest waiting in line for anything? I hate waiting in line. I hate waiting in grocery lines. I hate waiting on the telephone.

    This morning we continue our study in Acts and we will be looking at Acts 17:16-31. In Our passage we see Paul and his band of missionaries and evangelist continue to share God’s Good News with the lost and continue to be persecuted for it

    Evangelism and Football By Paul Dietz Evangelism and Football We are now in the midst of one the hottest seasons of the year.

    "we're All One Family"

    Prejudice is a social evil present in every culture of our fallen world. It is holding negative attitudes towards others based on generalizations and stereotypes, resulting in discrimination. It is forming conclusions without consulting the facts.

    The Apostle Paul affirms the unity and diversity of all nations in Acts 17. He was addressing Greeks who regarded themselves as superior race. Race matters only to racists; the rest of us care about character. It is distressing how people have twisted this passage to justify segregation. In ...read more

    If we’re going to reach unbelievers with the gospel, we must build bridges, not barriers.

    Last weekend, Pastor Ed and Sheila, Gary and Kathy Pinger, and Beth and I had the privilege of attending the Keep Believing Ministries retreat. KBM is one of Edgewood’s Go Team Partners. One of the many highlights was learning how the free gospel book, Anchor for the Soul has now been distributed ...read more

    Paul’s Mars Hill Sermon Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 23, 2022
     | 4,043 views

    What's going on here? Paul preaches a message without using Scripture? He quotes from an inscription on a pagan shrine? No follow up for the new believers in Athens? We better take a closer look at Paul's Mars Hill sermon.

    The context of Paul’s Mars Hill Sermon When we look at Paul’s Mars Hill sermon given in Athens in Acts 17, he is well into his second missionary journey. His plans were changed early in the journey when the Holy Spirit kept him from preaching the word in Asia and then he received his Macedonian ...read more

    When Paul and Silas left Thessalonica, they left it in a turmoil.

    The Jews that did not believe, showed their jealousy by attacking the household of Jason, who had lodged Paul and Silas, since they could not take their revenge out on them personally. Verse 10, says, "And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming ...read more

    Witnessing To Postmodern People

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 29, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,431 views

    This message discusses postmodernism. In today's moral relativism, truth is seen as subjective, and it can supposedly change with circumstances. So, how do we share about Jesus who is "the way, the TRUTH, and the life?"

    Our message this evening is entitled, “Witnessing to Postmodern People.” As we seek to understand how to better share our faith in today’s western culture, we must begin with a discussion on modernism and postmodernism. Modernism and postmodernism are eras, or time periods of societal thought and ...read more

    From The Unknown To The Known God

    Contributed by Derek Geldart on Nov 15, 2025

     | 386 views

    Believers are to engage an idol-filled modern culture with the same wisdom, compassion, and courageous clarity Paul displayed in Athens—understanding people’s longings, building bridges to the truth, and faithfully proclaiming the risen Christ!

    How do we, as Christ’s ambassadors, engage a modern culture with wisdom, courage, and gentleness—so that the gospel is not just another opinion in the noise, but a message carried on “beautiful feet” bringing good news? Everywhere we look, the signs of moral fracture are ...read more
