To Be Encouraged by God Part 2b

June 9, 2020

Discouraged, lonely, feeling isolated, that would describe a great number of people today!  But there is a way to be encouraged by God, even in a Pandemic!  That comes to our attention through a study of Acts chapter eighteen today on Sound Doctrine. At this particular stage of his life, the apostle Paul needed to be encouraged.  He had just entered Corinth, a city full of darkness.  Join pastor Jeff Johnson and see how we too can be encouraged by God.

Pastor Jeff today resumes our verse by verse study in Acts.  We’ll be taking one final look at Paul’s sermon in Athens, recorded for us in chapter seventeen.  It’s a fantastic sermon that’s proving to be a useful model on how to witness.  And as we witness we can expect any one of three different reactions.

We have another look at Acts seventeen today, where the apostle Paul gives a thought provoking message in Athens.  He’s seeking to reach the people with the message of the gospel, and I might add a secular society not unlike our own!  All of this is proving to be helpful as we go about sharing the message of Christ with the unsaved!
