The Unknown God
In this exploration of Acts 17, we're challenged to examine how we engage with the world around us. Paul's distress at the idols in Athens serves as a wake-up call for us to consider what truly bothers us in our society. Are we, like Paul, moved by the spiritual emptiness we see, or have we become desensitized? This message urges us to recognize the modern-day idols in our lives - money, status, pleasure - and confront them with the transformative power of the Gospel. The way Paul approaches the intellectuals of Athens provides a masterclass in evangelism. Instead of leading with condemnation, he finds common ground and presents the 'unknown God' as the answer to their spiritual seeking. This approach reminds us that effective ministry often begins with understanding and empathy, not judgment.
