Encounter God's Truth

The Gospel In Athens (Part 2)

Episode Summary

The Apostle Paul had a fascinating encounter with the people of Athens in Acts 17—and the message he so eloquently presented there still resonates with us today. Welcome back to Encounter God’s Truth from Whitcomb Ministries, where we present Timeless Truths for Changing Times—drawn from the teaching legacy of Dr. John Whitcomb. So glad to have you back with us this week as we continue in Volume 6 of our ongoing series, “Acts: Witness of the Early Church.” Paul’s ministry to the philosophers and promoters of pagan religion in the city of Athens, on his second missionary journey, still provokes interest and controversy to this day. Dr. Whitcomb will guide us through this passage—showing what we can learn from his message there, to apply to our own lives of service in the 21st-century church. God’s Word is true from the beginning to the end, even as we deal with the historical details found in the book of Acts. Dr. Whitcomb taught this book in six installments at the Independent Fundamental Bible Conference at Middletown Bible Church in Middletown, Connecticut. We’re thankful to the church there for their help in bringing this material to you. And you can download a free commentary on the book of Acts at WhitcombMinistries.org. It was written by Dr. Whitcomb and Middletown Pastor George Zeller. If you’re enjoying this series of studies and benefiting from them, please share a testimony at Facebook.com/WhitcombMinistries. We’d love to hear how you’re encouraged by it. Right now, please turn to Acts 17, as we finish our message on “The Gospel in Athens.”
