    Paul's Sermon At Athens: The Right Place At The Right Time

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 7, 2021
     | 2,405 views

    Paul's preaching in the synagogues and the markets of Athens drew the attention of the city's philosophers and intellectuals who invited him to speak at the Areopagus. When the Gospel is proclaimed, it has the power to win souls for the glory of God (Hebrews 4:12).

    Paul's mission to carry the Gospel to the nations continued while he was in Athens. Even though persecution had driven him out of one area, the LORD in His Sovereignty placed Paul right where He wanted him, and that was at the intellectual capital of the Roman Empire, the city of Athens. ...read more

     | 11,334 views

    James is very concerned about how you react to the pain and suffering that comes into your life. This sermon teaches you how to respond to injustice, pain, suffering, delay and difficulty in a godly way.

    Scripture Stanislaw J. Lec once said, “You must first have a lot of patience to learn to have patience.” I wonder how many would agree with that statement. It does seem that those who are patient have large doses of it to begin with, doesn’t it? In our text for today, James gives us God’s ...read more
