Acts 17:16-34 Paul on Mars Hill

Paul is alone in the most religious city of its time – Athens, Greece. It is a city full of idols and eggheads, people who LOVED to argue and philosophize. They were the kind of people who today teach in America’s colleges and universities. They were absolutely sure they were right and every other human was wrong, no matter how terribly their own personal life was falling apart. Paul ascends the place that people use in Athens as a public platform for speaking to the crowd. He sees one of the idols is called “To The Unknown God.” He explains to the people that that must be the one true marker because none of them have ever known the true Creator God. The people listened and some of them asked to hear him speak more. Lesson: You are not going to win everybody to Christ with whom you speak. But speak. Some WILL hear you. – Ray
