Why is it important to study the Book of Acts? Listen to Adrian Rogers.

You're going to find out, dear friend, that this Book of Acts is not mere ancient history.

It is as up to date as tomorrow's newspaper and the same three things

that Paul met you're going to meet and you're going to rub shoulders with. Now I

want you to see what he met. We're going to look at it because you need to be

forewarned and forearmed. You need to understand what you're going to encounter

tomorrow as a soldier of Jesus Christ. And need to learn how poem at these things so that you can meet them.

Welcome to Love Worth Finding as we just heard from acclaimed pastor and Bible teacher Adrian Rogers,

the Bible is just as relevant today as ever before.

In Acts Chapter 17, Paul walked down the streets of Athens, Greece

and met three challenges to the

Gospel of Christ. If we look closer, we'll see we meet these same challenges every

day. The ones who oppose the gospel in acts could believe the same things as the people

we rub shoulders with on a daily basis. We need to learn how Pole met these challenges

so that we can meet them in a God-honoring way.

If you have your Bible, turn to Act 17.

We'll begin in verse 16, as Adrian Rogers addresses the three challenges to the cross.

Have you ever been to a big city, a place you've never been before,

and you were absolutely alone, had no friends in that big city just walking the streets of that big city

Some of you have I have and it's a strange feeling. That's the situation that the apostle Paul found

himself in. Paul is now in Athens and he's on a missionary journey but Timothy and Silas have been left behind and Paul is by

himself and he's walking the streets of this intellectual capital of the world.
