Preaching : "Who is God to unbelievers? "
Text: Acts 17:22-34
Who is the True and One and Only God?
In Athens if we read the story that Apostle Paul, from traveling to Tesalonica, to Berea and then to Athens.
We already know that there is a massive sculptures of gods and goddesses in the city, paul may feel sad entering the gates, then he sees the altar that has writing "to the Unknown God" . He stands there and starts to share, he calls the attention of people living in the city, to turn away from Idols and ignorance, because the day of judgement was already set in the world fairly. he tells the crowd about the resurrection of Jesus and all about the creation of God.
the crowd reactions;
Mockery: Some people laugh and mock Paul when they hear about the resurrection of the dead.
Interest: Others say they want to hear him speak about this topic again.
Belief: A few people believe and join him, including Dionysius (a member of the Areopagus) and a woman named Damaris
what about us today? do we really know who is God? if you know? can you share and be like apostle paul that has courage to spread the Gospel?
