Scripture

Acts 17:16–25

About this sermon

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.
