Godly Wisdom Comes to Athens

Rev. Paul J. Miller – Sermon Outline – January 16, 2022

Series Title: The Church Needs Leaders

Today’s Title: Athens – The Nonsense of the Gospel

Today’s Text: Acts 17:16-34

 

The best of man-made religion, philosophy, and institutions share a common goal: to live as well we can for as long as we can, delaying the unavoidable sting of death as long as possible. What Christ did for us was to take death head on. By overcoming death’s sting, He built a path for us to follow that worldly wisdom thinks foolish. Godly wisdom reveals that path; it’s a path that teaches us to lose to find, to go last to be first, to serve to be great, and to die to live.

 

GODLY WISDOM REVEALS THAT….

 

• GOD DOESN’T NEED ANYTHING, HE GAVE US EVERYTHING (v24-25)

 

 

 

• THE ONE GOD BEGAN LIFE WITH THE ONE MAN (v26-28)

 

 

 

• WE DIDN’T DESIGN GOD, GOD DESIGNED US (v29)

 

 

 

• THE WAY TO CHANGE YOUR VIEW OF GOD IS TO CHANGE YOUR VIEW OF DEATH (v30-31)
