Hungry

Read Acts 17.16-21

“’Paul was preaching the good news about Jesus and the resurrection ..” (Acts 17.18)

Paul observed what characterised the lives of the Athenians, and engaged with them wherever he found them. His talk was always about Jesus and the resurrection, the Person and the event; and people, hungry for meaning in life, wanted to know more.

What would be contemporary equivalents of the Areopagus, and what opportunities are there to share the good news of Jesus there?

How familiar are you with ‘the latest ideas’ in our culture today, and how able are you to challenge them if required?

Prayer: There’s so much in today’s society, Lord, which greatly distresses me.  Give me compassion for the people of this land; help me to know when and what to speak.
