Thanks to Pastor Rick Hunter of CityChurch for his sermon on Acts 17:16-34, where Paul had a unique opportunity to preach to a group of well-educated men who did not know the Bible. This sermon sounds very different from those he preached in the Jewish synagogues but contains the same Gospel message. As Christians present this good news to people of all backgrounds, we can learn much from Paul’s ability to deliver an unchanging message in a form that was accessible to his audience and even persuasive to some of them, who went away wanting to hear more.
After God used Philip to save many Samaritans, he sent him to evangelize one who had come from the ends of the Earth.
Adam was a type of Christ, each having the same role as the representative of his people, but with opposite outcomes.
In this thank you letter to the Philippians, Paul teaches us about giving for missionary work.
