    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

    Many churches if they were honest would put this plaque on their wall: the Church to an unknown God

    12. The Book of Acts August 09th, 2009 Knowing God: Athens Religion can make us do some strange things. This is not new. It has been going on for thousands of years.

    The Christian life is more than a day to day walk with the Lord, it is a “Quest.”

    1The Quest The Christian life is more than a day to day walk with the Lord, it is a “Quest.” 2The Bible is a treasure map. Have you heard of Rick Warren and his “Purpose Driven Life” series? It is a movement within the church today that has inspired many Christians to find meaning in their ...read more

    Knowing Christ is where true faith begins. From there we grow through the essentials of discipleship: Bible study, prayer, preaching, worship and Christian friendship and fellowship.

    What is faith? A Sunday-School teacher asked her class one day, “What is faith?” the class sat there quietly - which was a surprise in itself, so the teacher asked again, “can anyone tell me what is faith?” You could see the little minds working and one boy stuck up his hand. The teacher said, ‘Ok ...read more

    The Devil Is A Boring Preacher

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jun 23, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 13,889 views

    The message of the preacher blessed by God will disturb the casual, even as it glorifies the Master. Contrary to every expectation, the message presented by the servants of the devil is boring, generating no excitement and no reaction.

    “When they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews. And Paul went in, as was his custom, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures, explaining and proving that it was necessary for the Christ to ...read more

    How Do You Hear The Word? Part 1 Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Sep 29, 2008
     | 3,215 views

    When God’s Word is communicated, the state of your mind can greatly affect how your heart receives what God is saying. We have the first part in a discussion from Acts 17 on the ways the Bible is communicated and received.

    Chapter 17 gives us three glimpses at how people process the Word of God. Isn’t contrast great? Medical science uses contrast to find anomalies in the body, and here we use contrast to see the different approaches people take to the Word of God and the gospel of Jesus Christ. We’ll look at the ...read more

    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
