Paul at Mars Hill (Acts 17:16-34)

About this episode

Paul at Mars Hill discusses the futility of idols and philosophies in contrast to the fulfillment found in Jesus.

Paul at Mars Hill shares the gospel after being greatly distressed by all of the idols in Athens as well as by the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers. Idols and philosophies never deliver fully on what they are promising. The give you just enough to keep you coming back but never leave you satisfied. Meaning, purpose, and abundant life can only be found in Jesus!
