Acts 17:1-15
The Good News is Bad News to Many
(What Does That Mean for Christians?)
The Good News is Bad News to Many
Which Among Other Things Means: Believers Should Expect Opposition When We Identify with Christ: So Let’s Get Over It and Live/Share the Gospel Anyway, the Right Way (with a Balance of Truth and Love, Tact/Timing)
Take This To Heart
Opposition Does Not Need To Stop Us, If: We Remember the Lord Will Guide and Provide Us Such That “People of Peace” Will (in God’s Time) Embrace the Good News
And Remember: Evangelism (like a football team scoring a TD after a long drive down the field) is Often a Process not a Point Act: So Even the Littlest Ripples That We Produce Can Be Used by the Lord to Ultimately Produce Fruit We May Never See This Side of Heaven.
