Sermon Summary

In this sermon we we follow up on the theme of repentance that we looked at in Jer. 18:1-11, but from the perspective of a New Testament Text. Here we look at Acts 17 and Paulʼs preaching to the philosophers on Mars Hill in Athens. Here Paul acknowledges how religious they are even in their worship of “an unknown god” to which he responds, that this time of ignorance God was patient with but now because of the Gospel, God calls all men everywhere to repent. One major question dealt with is the question of Godʼs need for worship. Here it is suggested it is not that God need our worship, but rather that we need to worship him.
