The Jesus Movement: Athens is Denver

About this episode

This episode explores the parallels between the spiritual curiosity in Athens and Denver, emphasizing the personal nature of God through the Holy Spirit.

Acts 17-19 with Joshua Lewis In Acts 17, Paul walks into a city overflowing with idols and spiritual curiosity. It looks a lot like Denver. People are searching, open, and hungry for something real. Paul does not mock their longing. He names it. The Unknown God they are reaching for has a name. He is Creator, risen King, and through the Holy Spirit He is personal and near. This sermon explores the difference between ambient spirituality and the living God, and asks a simple question. Have you received the Holy Spirit?
