    Contributed by Mark Olson on Jul 17, 2007
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,221 views

    Just as Paul had to proclaim who the true God is, because the Athenians were ignorant of Him, so we too must proclaim who the true God is to our world and culture.

    Proclaiming the Unknown God Acts 17:16-34 Pastor Mark Olson The kind of God we worship, determines the kind of person we become - we become what we worship... Sad truth - great ignorance of the true, living God Athenians worshipped the “unknown god” because they did not want to leave any god out ...read more

The Setting – Acts 17:16-21 16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry. • The Whole city was given to Idolatry • Some say ...read more

    How Do You Receive The Word Part 2 Series

    The philosophers of Paul’s day are not really that much different from what we see in the world around us in a post-Christian society. How Paul addressed them can help us in dealing with people who collect thoughts like Matchbox cars.

    What did you collect as a child? I collected a number of things, pennies, model trains, marbles, and Matchbox® cars. I would wait anxiously until my mother would drive me down to the toy store so I could drool over the latest and greatest tiny little car or truck. I used to show off my more ...read more

    Knowing The One Who Has Called Us

    God wants people to know who He is and what He is like so we can answer His call with full assurance that He is with us and will accomplish His purposes through us.

    Knowing the One Who Has Called Us Caller ID: Before you answer a call, it sometimes helps to know who is calling. Caller ID may be one of the greatest inventions since sliced bread. Many of you already have an idea of what is meant by answering God’s call. It is a call to do life with Him ...read more

    Blood And The One Blood

    based on 1 rating
     | 8,732 views

    All of us are more alike than we are different, even those who are well outside our values. We need to see the broken as brothers and sisters in search of God, and to feel urgency about reaching them.

    If blood is supposed to be thicker than water, meaning that we have a primary responsibility to our families, then I guess we had better know who our families are. I guess we’d better know who our blood kin are if blood is thicker than water, as the saying goes, and there is some kind of special ...read more

     | 10,601 views

    Reaching a changing world for Christ has always required the church to be innovative, Paul’s trip to Athens is an illustration of this truth.

    In a world where there is so much diversity it is important to be able to change, to come up with innovative solutions to the problems and challenges that we face. In the second half of Acts chapter 17 that is where we find the Apostle Paul. You’ll remember that the first part of his ministry was ...read more

    We sing “Change My Heart O God”, but do you really mean it? Or is this change just for a moment, just for this song, because we really don’t want our life to change.

    Acts 17:16-34 (NLT) Change We just had a mid-term election; we have change in our future. At least that’s what we voted for. We the people, we the people, are tired of the same ol’ thing, time after time. They all say, more water, less taxes and put the rights of the people back into ...read more

     | 3,250 views

    Learning from Paul’s encounter with the citizens of Athens this sermon helps us to see how we can introduce God to the people we interact with in lives

    One of the foundational messages of Christianity is around the focus of love. As we flip through the pages of scripture love is dominant. God’s love for us, our love for God and our love for others. Our parish mission statement even reflects this; Because of God’s amazing grace we live to love the ...read more
