About this episode
Dr. Toby Holt discusses the powerful nature of the Gospel and its impact on the world, referencing Acts 17 and the opposition faced by Paul and the apostles.
The Gospel is not toothless. The Gospel is not weak or defenseless. As Spurgeon said – it is like a ‘lion.’ What do you do with a lion? You set it loose. In today’s text, we’ll see an example of this from Acts 17. Questions That We’ll Answer: A) What opposition did Paul and the apostles face? B) What was the true (spiritual) source of that opposition? C) What effect does the good news have upon a fallen world? Speaker: Dr. Toby Holt
