IV. Pauls Communication Method vv. 22-23 First and foremost Paul understood to whom he was speaking. One of the things we must always do is to know our audience. While the content of the message must never vary, How you approach your audience depends upon who they are, and you know that by observation.
Paul was in Athens, he was among philosophers, educated people who thought they knew more than they did, he knew them to be religious and thats where he began.

The Pastors Message

by Pastor Hector de Guzman

SHARE THE WORD! ACTS 17:16-34
EFFECTIVE WAY TO COMMUNICATE CHRIST TO OUR WORLD:
I. Pauls Cultural Environment It was a city that personified a culture given over to hedonism, or the pursuit of physical and sensual pleasure. They were avowed materialists, believing that this life, what you could own during it and experience during it were all there was to human existence. Denying the existence of eternity, they lived for that moment, professing a belief that the best life was the one lived free from pain, totally given over to the pursuit of pleasure. II. Pauls Consuming Motivation v. 16 Verse 16 tells us that his spirit was provoked within him.. Paul was physically upset at the sight of such idolatry and paganism.
He knew Gods Truth - Paul knew that these statues were merely man-made objects that held no power to save, no power to protect, no power to forgive or respond. He knew that it was God who had created the heaven and earth. He knew the truth, and the deception and false teachings that surrounded him stirred within his soul a deep and profound righteous indignation. He was constrained by Gods love - Paul was moved and constrained by the love of God, even as we should be. Paul understood why Jesus died on the cross, he had a personal experience with the God of love. How is it that we can claim to have died to ourselves and now allow Christ to live within us, and yet we are unmoved to share the word to those around us?

Opening Prayer Call to Worship Welcome Praise and Worship Sermon - Pastor Hector de Guzman Tithes and Offerings Announcements Benediction Closing Song

A good witness isn't like a salesman, emphasis is on a person rather than a product. A good witness is like a signpost. It doesn't matter whether it is old, young, pretty, ugly; it has to point the right direction and be able to be understood. We are witnesses to Christ, we point to him. John White

III. Pauls Christ-centered Message v. 18 Paul preached Jesus and the resurrection. Of course it is impossible to preach that Jesus was resurrected from the dead, without first preaching that Jesus died on a cross. The gospel, plain and simple was Pauls message. Verse 18 also gives us insight into how many received his message.
