Acts 17:16-34 Paul on Mars Hill

http://reachmorenow.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/mars-hill6.jpg

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

Paul and Silas leave Philippi after a God–quake that brought the Philippian jailer and his whole household to Christ. They reach Thessalonica and Paul spends two weeks setting the biblical groundwork for the Messiah in a Jewish synagogue. But on the third week he tells then Jesus Christ is the Messiah and some believe and others want to kill him. Once again, Paul and Silas had to leave town.

Lydia worshiped God before she was saved. A clairvoyant got deliverance. And the apostle Paul, Silas, Timothy and Doctor Luke got beaten with rods and thrown into jail because of this. But God had a plan to deliver them too. He always does. – Ray

The very first person to ever receive Jesus Christ in Europe was Lydia in Philippi. Lydia was a very rich woman and a very hard worker. She sold extremely expensive purple cloth that was specially dyed from a certain shelled fish. Soon she would turn her elegant home into a church and the gospel would begin to spread throughout all Europe. – Ray
