Day 11: Acts 17:16-34 - On the Attack in Athens

This passage is often used by people (rightly or wrongly) as an example of being “missional.” The term “missional” is quite trendy and is used to mean a whole bunch of different things, but generally carries the idea of engaging your culture with the gospel.

How does Paul “engage” with the culture here?

The Athenians regard Paul as a foolish babbler (verse 18). But what opinion do you form about them from the story?

What does Paul have to say about Jesus and the resurrection? How does this gospel cut through the Athenian culture?

What would it look like for you to be “missional” like Paul?

1. Thank God for one thing from the passage

2. Ask God for help with one thing you've challenged by from your reading and reflection today

3. Pray for QUT Christians
