Acts 17 - Athens

Jul 26, 2026    Craig Smith

Paul’s visit to Athens demonstrates how believers are called to engage the world with both compassion and conviction. Rather than ignoring the culture around him, Paul recognized its spiritual need, connected with people where they were, and faithfully proclaimed the truth of the gospel. Effective mission requires seeing people through God’s eyes, communicating with wisdom and grace, and remaining theologically grounded. The good news is that Jesus came not because God needed our help, but because we desperately needed His.
