Summary
What is the most effective way to reach people who don't follow Jesus? Is it a gentle message that builds bridges to their current beliefs, or is it a bold presentation of the gospel? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson examines how Paul used one approach in Athens and another in Corinth, yielding very different results. As our culture descends further into paganism, the Church's assignment is to be salt and light, bringing God's uncompromising truth into our conversations and inviting people toward the freedom of the cross.
