The Black Atlantic | Claudia Allen

About this episode

Pastor Claudia Allen delivers a sermon on God's presence across cultures, drawing from Acts 17 to encourage recognition of His guidance in our lives.

In this powerful and culturally reflective message, Pastor Claudia Allen draws from Paul’s address at Mars Hill in Acts 17, where the apostle meets people right where they are and points them to the unknown God they have been seeking. The Black Atlantic challenges us to see how God moves across cultures, histories, and generations—revealing Himself as the One in whom we live, move, and have our being. This sermon reminds us that God is not distant or disconnected, but present and purposeful, guiding humanity toward truth and relationship with Him. Through thoughtful insight and biblical clarity, Pastor Allen encourages us to recognize God’s hand at work in every space and to boldly proclaim the One who is Lord over all.
