Scripture: Acts 17
Speaker: Grant Perkins
Summary: The sermon begins by highlighting that many people today identify as “religious nones,” but most still believe in or seek a higher power, showing our culture’s deep spiritual curiosity. Grant connects this to Acts 17, where Paul finds himself in Athens, a city full of idols and curious philosophers, much like today’s spiritually searching culture. Paul uses the Athenians’ altar “to an unknown god” to introduce the one true God who is powerful, personal, and gives us everything though He needs nothing from us. The message reminds believers that God is knowable and near, even when we sometimes feel uncertain. The sermon closes by challenging everyone to respond like some Athenians did — by choosing to truly know and worship the God who has made Himself known.
