    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

    Preaching the good news

    THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTIONS Acts 17:24-31 Have you noted that among the first questions we ask when we meet someone is the question “What’s new?” In Acts 17 the apostle Paul came to Athens. He came to Areopagus, one of the “Seven Wonders of Ancient World.” The people in Athens did the same thing, ...read more

    Religion Or Relationship

    This sermon explains that Christianity is all about a Relationahip with Jesus Christ, not a "Religion."

    Introduction: The Apostle Paul was in the city of Athens, Greece, waiting for his co-workers Timothy and Silas to join him there. While he waited I’m sure he must have spent some time walking the ancient streets of Athens. Perhaps he even toured The Parthenon, which was a temple built and ...read more

    This is a evangelistic message for our post modern world which touches on religous syncretism

    Acts 17:13-32. THE UNKNOWN GOD. One hundred years ago, the German philosopher and self-styled anti-Christ Friedrich Nietzsche famously quoted "God is dead." Sadly it’s Friedrich Nietzsche who is dead because GOD is still very much alive, He’s risen! But how can we find God that is the deep ...read more

    The concept of the Trinity and the names of God.

    The God We Worship - Introduction Acts 17:22-25 INTRO.: The concept of theology is one we often avoid because it sounds scholarly. Yet, it is a subject touching each of our lives. The word simply means "knowledge of God." We all have a theology. Some are carefully thought out. Others are ...read more

    God the Father Acts 17:22-25 INTRO.: Genesis 1:27 records these words, "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them." (NIV.)

    Lead Others To Know God

    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

    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

    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
