Our Awesome God!

What does it look like to stand in the middle of a culture that worships everything except the one true God and boldly declare that there is something better? That is exactly the situation we find ourselves exploring in Acts 17, where Paul walks through the streets of Athens, a city overflowing with idols and altars, and feels a deep, burning provocation in his spirit. This message invites us to ask ourselves the same question: what provokes us as we look at the world around us? The central lesson here is that our God is infinitely greater than anything this world offers, and that truth should stir something in us. Paul's approach is instructive. He does not retreat from the culture; he engages it every single day, meeting people where they are, finding common ground, and then pointing them toward the unknown God they had been missing all along. For us, this is a reminder that our faith is not meant to be kept private. The resurrection of Jesus is the cornerstone of everything we believe, and it is the most compelling evidence we carry. The disciples died for what they knew to be true. Hundreds of eyewitnesses saw Jesus alive. The tomb could not be explained away. These are not myths; they are the foundation of a faith worth sharing with everyone around us.
