In Acts 17, the early church’s proclamation of Christ as King “…turns the world upside down” as it challenges Caesar’s claim of ultimate allegiance and loyalty. Then, Paul visits Athens; ends up on trial (big surprise); and sets out a masterclass on cultural apologetics, touches on the eternal purposes of God concerning humanity and even nations, and shows the hubris of man’s knowledge and self-worship. And his words echo with profound lessons for our own culture and times.
Big Idea: The early church carried the gospel throughout the known world in approximately 30 years and transformed an empire in 3 centuries. Now the church seems intimidated, uncertain amidst swift cultural changes. So, what did the early Christians, commanded by Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit, do that we are not doing? Here are their Acts, and may they inspire our own.
