Reaching the Cities
The Bible Study Hour
Long ago and far away, the apostle Paul and a few friends traveled from place to place for months at a time. Everywhere they went, they preached about Jesus, attracted attention, drew crowds, and eventually got kicked out of town. But they also left behind, in place after place, a new community of believers. Athens, the city of the Epicureans: "If it feels good, do it." Athens, the city of the Stoics: "If it doesn't feel good, grin and bear it." Athens, the city of idols: "If it looks good, worship it." And Athens, the city of Paul's most famous sermon, a closely reasoned message about an unknown God who has made Himself known in Jesus Christ. It was a cosmopolitan city. It was a commercial city. And it was a corrupt city. In short, it was very much like many of our big cities today. Corinth, a melting pot of people, a center of trade, and home to ten thousand prostitutes serving at the temple of Aphrodite – the city was also a turning point in Paul's ministry. But the real star of the book of Acts is the Holy Spirit, and He does His work through every believer.
