    There will always be some kind of opposition when preaching the Gospel and different results, but Paul shows that we should preach it anyway.

    Life on Mars Acts 17:15 – 34 I. Introduction Wherever Paul went he preached the Gospel, Athens was no different. He is invited to explain his message at the open forum on Mars’ Hill. II.

    We should not be surprised that the gospel is opposed. We’d like to think that everyone will just accept this wonderful news, but that is not the case. Let’s look at the faces of that opposition.

    Passage: Acts 17:1-33 Intro: One of the recurring themes of Acts is opposition. 1. mostly from the Jews, but others as well. 2. it was as well as recurring theme in the life of ministry of Christ. 3. we can draw this principle; that where the gospel goes, opposition will arise in one form or ...read more

    In John 20:22 Jesus breathed on His Disciples and told them to recieve the Holy Spirit. Has Jesus breathed on you?

    Let Him Breathe Upon Me Acts 17:16-34 22 Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars’ hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious. {Mars’ hill: or, the court of the Areopagites} 23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this ...read more

     | 4,103 views

    The world is rapidly changing. Among those changes are people’s views toward religion. While it used to be choice between Methodist, Baptist, Christian Church, etc., people now find themselves trying to decide between Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, etc.

    ALL ROADS LEAD TO HEAVEN–RIGHT? Acts 17:16-34 INTRODUCTION: ILL> A stranger entered the church service in the middle of the sermon and seated himself in the back pew. After a while he began to fidget. Leaning over to a white-haired man at his side, evidently an old member of the congregation, he ...read more

    Just because someone doesn't believe in the Bible doesn't mean we can't witness to them.

    Dealing With Unbelievers Text: Acts 17:16-34 Introduction 1. A recent study by the George Barna Group showed how Americans feel about the Bible. While many Americans still believe in the authority of the Bible, the survey showed "the biggest jump of any group are those American adults who are ...read more

    Understanding your audience is important! But while it is EASY to see this in MISSIONS, we fail to apply this to evangelism!

    Let me share a fictitious story about two missionaries and their approach to missions. These two missionary couples are not real. Their stories however are very real and reflect a variety of common missionary situations. To add simplicity (and a small degree of good-heartedness) to our story, ...read more

    A Heart For The Lost

    How can we develop a heart for the lost, a heart like the apostle Paul's?

    How would you describe someone who has a heart for dogs? Well, we would say they love dogs. We know this because they’re constantly surrounded by dogs. They’re the one who constantly post cute pictures of dogs on facebook. Dogs are their passion, their first love. They go out of their ...read more

    Go public with your faith. Touch lives where you are. Believe you have the answer the lost world needs to hear.

    If God leads us, and leads us to where He wants us to be, so that we can share what we know about Him and Christ, and thus allowing His Spirit to work in the hearts of the hearers, then it goes to show that all of us can make an impact in someone’s life. • We may not have planned for ...read more

    Today there is a lot of talk, but very little evidence by way of demonstrating God's power

    DEMONSTRATION OF POWER JUST ANOTHER RELIGION In Paul's day, Greek philosophers would meet regularly to discuss philosophies, viewpoints and various gods people believed in.

    In Athens Paul had a great debate with the wisest about the "Unknown God" There are lessons to be learned on how to win the debate.

    While some teach us to avoid the Halloween season, Paul’s visit to Mars Hill may have left us a clue as to sanctifying the secular for God.

    Sanctifying the Secular Acts 17:15-34 (ESV) My emails filled up this week from my pastor’s newsletters about Halloween. I get the same emails about the Christmas tree and the Easter bunny. About half of them warned pastors about allowing their churches to do anything around the Halloween ...read more
