Godless Philosophers (Acts 17:16–25) — A Sermon by R.C. Sproul

When Paul came to Mars Hill in ancient Athens, he was confronted by skepticism, relativism, and cynicism. In this sermon, R.C. Sproul sets the stage for the Apostle’s message in the Areopagus to people who were obsessed with religious and philosophical novelty but had exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for idols.

“This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words.”
1 Corinthians 2:13

[James-vytq]

This passage was spoken to in my church today, south of chicago

“But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.”
John 16:13

[Yesica]

I've always loved this entire account. It puts to rest the nonsense by professing Christians that we are not supposed to do apologetics or know anything about other worldviews. Willful ignorance like that makes me grind my teeth in frustration. And embarrassment. God tells us, to love the Lord your God with all your MIND, not just your heart. (Which people take to mean your fuzzy feelings.)

I hope this series continues!

Amen! A brilliant sermon by the late and great R.C. Sproul. Praise Christ. ❤

[Yesica]

12:42 "I'm not going to get into, to my wife's relief, an exposition of Parmenides and Heraclitus here."

I hear comments like this pretty often. I recently heard one guy joking that his wife doesn't watch his videos. (Which are on Bible translation.) Why wouldn't a wife be interested in her husband's work? I think that awful. But, whatever.

What's new at: 19:58. According to Ecclesiastes 1:9, there is nothing new under the sun.
