Bible Talks from Acts

This is the third talk of a series on evangelism done at a 4pm church retreat. As Paul visits Athens in Acts 17, it is clear that he has gospel awareness. That one God who created all things, moves people around so that they would reach out for him. This same God also demands one response before we appear before one judge - the resurrected Jesus.

In our first Sunday at our new location here at Thomas Hassall in Middleton Grange, we look at God’s gracious command to all people to turn to Jesus to be saved. In this passage the Apostle Paul preaches to a group of pagan Greeks and challenges them to turn to Jesus so that they can worship God according to the truth of who he is. According to Paul, this is not only a good thing to do, but absolutely necessary for God to be honoured, and for us to be saved.

God commands all people everywhere to repent because we will all stand before the one judge. We are all able to repent because the resurrection of Christ is sufficient evidence to turn and trust.

Christ is Lord over every culture. God commands all people to repent. No one is a victim of their upbringing

Telling people about Jesus can be hard for Christians to do. But maybe the issue isn’t how we do it - but why.
