    Eight million dollars. That’s how much is to be spent this year to operate one radio telescope, that big one in Puerto Rico. One purpose of this gigantic electronic ear is to catch the faintest whisper of extra terrestrial life…if it exists. There are thousands of radio telescopes around the world. ...read more

    God is close to each one of us, but not as close as He wants to be. The up close God wants you to get close to Him if you are willing.

    The Up Close God Text: Acts 17:16-34 Intro: After being chased out of Thessalonica & Berea for preaching the good news about Jesus, the apostle Paul spent a few days in the city of Athens. I’m not sure what Athens is like today, but in that time it was a favorite place for philosophers and ...read more

    based on 14 ratings
     | 8,481 views

    Paul takes the context of a pagan city and uses their apparent spiritual thirst to tell them about Jesus and his rescue from the judgement to come.

    Here’s Paul, left alone in Athens, the cultural capital of the world. How do you think he’d be feeling? Overwhelmed? Excited? Fascinated? Imagine this is you, not in Athens, but in New York or Paris or Rome or Berlin? How would you be feeling? Like you couldn’t wait to get out and start exploring? ...read more

    Paul in Athens - heavy on background - witness in the marketplace

    Two preachers were on the roadside with a sign that read, "The End is Near – Turn Back Now". A passing driver yelled "leave us alone you religious nuts". Then the preachers heard squealing breaks followed by a loud splash. One preacher said to the other, "I told you we should have just said "Bridge ...read more

    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

    Picture youself sitting in a small boat. Lean far to one side by following some foreign doctrine, the boat turns over, lean too far to the other side in not doing anything, the boat turns over. Balance is needed.

    Title: The Question of Balance Scripture: Acts 17:1-15 Have you ever wondered just why it is you have a little toe? I mean really, think about it! It doesn’t do anything but just sit there. All the other toes move while we are walking. All the other toes are active and support us just fine. ...read more

    How to keep our hearts right where God wants them and explore the fact that God also desires our worship.

    Last week we talked about how God desires our hearts – hearts that are redeemed, restored, and renewed. He desires them because He created them (us) for a relationship with Him – a living God. Today we are going to talk about how to keep our hearts right where God wants them and explore the fact ...read more

     | 4,848 views

    Ardent religious activity and a high and lofty intellect fall far short of the righteousness God requires.

    VERY RELIGIOUS YET VERY LOST! 22 Then Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus and said: "Men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are very religious; 23 for as I was passing through and considering the objects of your worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO THE ...read more

     | 8,206 views

    When attempting to reach people of other faiths, we recognize that: 1. There is some truth in all religions and there are good people who follow them. 2. God has placed a longing for himself inside every human heart. 3. Jesus is the universal Savior.

    This is a confusing time in which to live. It was not long ago that America was a place where we, for the most part, understood each other and where other people were coming from. We shared common standards of ethics, and whether or not we followed those ethics, we understood them and agreed ...read more

     | 7,729 views

    The Apostle Paul’s message to the men of Athens at the Areopagus gives us a model for sharing Christ with others. We start with their natural knowledge of God and transition to the revealed knowledge of God.

    What is the “natural knowledge” of God? Since our “examination / confirmation Sunday” is just over a month away I hope that one of our confirmands can answer that question. What is the “natural knowledge” of God? The “natural knowledge” of God is what all people know about God from nature and ...read more
