    A challenge to live this life we’ve been given making the difference God put us here to make.

    I want to talk today about the reality of the world you are entering and your place in it. In perilous times, God always raises up men and women who will fight for what is right. During the infancy of our nation God established our Founding Fathers who crafted the most successful democracy in the ...read more

    Impact. One second before you die...? What would you have to do to be remembered 10 years after you die? 50 years after? 100 years after? 1000 years after?

    The similarity of Athens to post-modernism and how Paul helps us in sharing our faith.

    Living in Modern Day Athens Paul, on his second missionary trip, entered the beautiful cosmopolitan city of Athens for the first time. Paul would have no doubt been astounded by the beautiful architecture. On a high hill overlooking Athens was the acropolis, the government building, and next to ...read more

    This continues in my expository series through the book of Acts.

    What is it about the bad that seems much more tantalizing to us than the good? Mark Twain said that a lie could travel halfway around the world while the truth was still putting on its shoes. And the old maxim is that while good news travels, bad news travels fast. The mainstream media has been ...read more

    An evangelistic sermon discussing the responses people give to the gospel message.

    3 Responses Acts 17:16-34 (Open with Text) I don’t know about the rest of you, but I like to keep up to date on the state of the church in America. I read quite a bit on the subject of American spirituality and how we as U.S. citizens view ourselves spiritually. But what I’m finding today is a ...read more

     | 7,884 views

    Paul on Mars Hill - "To the Unknown God". Everyone in the audience is building a memorial of some sort - a shrine in their life. The question is - to what? What ideal - what unknown god - consumes their time, energy, and focus?

    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 UNKNOWN GOD….

    How Do You Hear The Word? Part 1 Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Sep 29, 2008
     | 3,382 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

    Speak Clearly

    Paul was not intimidated with the intellect or the prominence of the Greek people. Paul knew what the Greek people thought of him, and it didn’t slow him down for a minute. Paul spoke with confidence in what he believed and lived by.

    SPEAK CLEARLY Recently, my wife and I purchased a new cordless phone. We had trouble with hearing on the old one we had. So we bought a new one that was supposed to be state of the art. It’s the newest and the greatest. We got it home only to find that on occasions people on the other end ...read more

    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

    Father Dave’s sermon on Paul, the preacher of the Gospel of Jesus, communicating with a group of persons who have never heard of Jesus. How did he go about it? And what is wrong with the ’Jesus is the answer to all your problems’ approach?

    "Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw that the city was full of idols." (Acts 17:16) Ange and I have been to Athens, as I suspect many of you guys have also. We went for less pious reasons than St Paul. We went as the Australian contingent ...read more
