Introduction

In Athens, Paul debates with philosophers and delivers a speech before a council called the Areopagus. This council of powerful people from Athens was in charge of the culture and morals of the city. They met on a small hill that was named Ares, after the Greek god of war.

Today’s Scripture: Acts 17:27b, 28a (GNT)

God is actually not far from any one of us; as someone has said, ‘In him we live and move and exist.’

Today’s Reading 

Acts 17:16-34

Reflect

What were the main points of Paul’s speech to the people in Athens? How did his listeners respond? What did Paul say to the people about their altar “To an Unknown God” (verse 23)? Why did some refer to his message as a “new teaching” (verse 19)? Were there any “new teachings” that you learned from today’s reading?

Pray

Sovereign God, you are Lord of heaven and earth. You are my source of life and in you I live and move and exist. Open my heart and mind each day to your teachings and guide me in the way of your truth. Amen.
