Are the new age beliefs really new? Listen to Adrian Rogers. Are people like that around

us today? Hey folks, they're everywhere. Getting up in the morning running off to work, drawing the breath, and drawing the salary, and

getting bounced about.

There's no meaning to life, no purpose to life.

They are just simply trying to get through.

As the writer of Ecclesiastic,

he said, there's nothing new under the sun.

And this apostle Paul went to Athens so long ago,

and there at Athens, he met superstitious idolatry, he met stubborn bigotry and sophisticated philosophy.

Welcome to Love Worth Finding and a dynamic message today that will help us face the challenges ahead.

All month we've been in a powerful series called that old-time religion that looks at the

early church in the Book of Acts. We look back so we can live fully today in the 21st century.

And in this message, pastor, teacher, and author Adrian Rogers explained how the Apostle Paul responded to the opposition he faced in Athens, Greece.

If you have your Bible, will be in Acts, chapter 17.

Turn there now, as we begin with the dramatic conclusion of three challenges to the cross.

When Paul walked down the streets of Athens, he met three challenges to the cross, and by the way that's the title of the message three challenges to the cross

He met three challenges that you're going to meet as you walk down the streets of this city or anybody in any city will meet. 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. And you need to learn

how Paul met these things so that you can meet them.

Now first of all, verse 16 tells us that Paul met superstitious idolatry.

Look at it again.
