• Acts 1722 -2522 So Paul stood in the midst of
  the Areopagus and said, Men of Athens, I observe
  that you are very religious in all respects. 23
  Therefore what you worship in ignorance, this I
  proclaim to you. 24 The God who made the world
  and all things in it, since He is Lord of heaven
  and earth, does not dwell in temples made with
  hands 25 nor is He served by human hands, as
  though He needed anything,

11

• God made all of creation,
  doesnt live in a house(temple),
  and is not a physical God,
  but a spiritual God

12
27 that they would seek God, if perhaps they
might grope for Him and find Him, though He is
not far from each one of us 28 for in Him we
live and move and exist,
13
Man should seek God because He is very close,
He is all around us.
14

• 30 Therefore having overlooked the times of
  ignorance, God is now declaring to men that all
  people everywhere should repent, 31 because He
  has fixed a day in which He will judge the world
  in righteousness through a Man whom He has
  appointed, having furnished proof to all men by
  raising Him from the dead.

15
This God is now saying
that men need to repent
(turn) from their sins,
He has picked Jesus
to judge the
world one day. His proof is the resurrection
of Jesus from the dead.

1 Corinthians 919-23 (The Message)

• Even though I am free of the demands and
  expectations of everyone, I have voluntarily
  become a servant to any and all in order to reach
  a wide range of people religious, nonreligious,
  meticulous moralists, loose-living immoralists,
  the defeated, the demoralizedwhoever. I didnt
  take on their way of life. I kept my bearings in
  Christbut I entered their world and tried to
  experience things from their point of view. Ive
  become just about every sort of servant there is
  in my attempts to lead those I meet into a
  God-saved life. I did all this because of the
  Message. I didnt just want to talk about it I
  wanted to be in on it!

  silent 10 for I am with you, and no man will
  attack you in order to harm you, for I have many
  people in this city.
