In Acts 17:16-34, we see Paul's encounter in Athens at the Areopagus. This was a center of philosophical thought, higher learning, and judicial proceedings. It was a place to go to discuss ideas and to debate. Paul was invited to share about his God and his beliefs in front of an audience at the Areopagus. Within this chapter, we see Paul makes inroads and finds common ground with his audience. He follows the right "evangelical" course, yet some were disapproving and even mocked his message. Still, others wanted to listen and hear Paul out. Finally, some believed! We see the power of the Gospel through this event. From this Acts 17 account, there is much we can use in terms of our own witness and our need to boldly speak about Christ just as Paul did.
