Evangelists are needed in the public square - In this message from Acts 17:16-34, we explore Paul’s bold proclamation of the gospel in the public square, confronting a culture filled with idolatry and skepticism. Paul skillfully engages both religious and secular audiences, using partial truths they understood to introduce them to the fullness of the gospel, challenging their misconceptions about God. We’re reminded that evangelism requires boldness, conviction, and the willingness to correct false beliefs while proclaiming the Lordship of Christ. This sermon calls us to take the gospel into the world, knowing that God is near and that repentance is essential for all.

Evangelists are needed in the public square - In this passage Paul finds himself in Athens, a city full of idols, and is stirred to action. Rather than wait passively, he engages the people—Jews, devout individuals, and the general populace—reasoning with them in the marketplace. Paul’s message is clear: the God they do not know, the one they call “unknown,” is the Creator of all things, and He now commands all people to repent because a day of judgment is coming through Jesus Christ. Just as Paul boldly preached to a city of idol worshippers, Christians today are called to proclaim the gospel in a culture filled with its own modern idols, trusting God with the results.

This sermon was preached at Hope Fellowship on September 29, 2024 by Kyle Truman. In this sermon, based on Acts 17:1-9, Paul and his team continue their mission, spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ. The passage highlights Paul’s strategic approach of preaching in Jewish synagogues, reasoning with people from the Scriptures, and proving the necessity of Christ’s suffering and resurrection. Despite facing opposition, Paul’s message results in conversions among Jews, Greeks, and leading women. However, jealousy from the Jewish leaders stirs up a mob, leading to persecution. This message challenges believers today to boldly proclaim the gospel, face opposition, and resist societal pressures, including the modern-day idolatry of statism, which elevates government authority above God’s sovereignty. Ultimately, Jesus is the true King. We gather every Sunday at 10 a.m. in the gymnasium at Gatesville Elementary School in Gatesville N.C.  Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you.

The sermon emphasizes the role of parents in nurturing their children in the faith and outlines the responsibilities and blessings tied to covenant obedience. Drawing from both Old and New Testament passages, the message underscores the importance of covenant nurture as a means by which God fulfills His promises to save future generations, highlighting practical ways parents can raise their children to know and love God.

In this sermon on Acts 16:35-40, we explore how Paul and Silas stand against injustice after their unlawful imprisonment. The message challenges believers to reject worldly political divisions and instead uphold righteousness based on biblical principles. By holding authorities accountable and confronting societal injustice, we fulfill our duty to bring every area of life under Christ’s authority. The call is for Christians to actively resist tyranny, uphold justice, and continue the work of discipleship in all aspects of life.
