Alan Smith‘s Podcasts

The Book of Acts shows how followers of Jesus stood strong in a hostile culture. In this teaching from Acts 17, we look at Paul’s second missionary journey, the blowing of the shofar as a prophetic call to “rise up,” and what it means for the modern church as our own culture grows more pagan and less Christian.

We walk through Paul’s bold preaching in Thessalonica and Athens, the charge that believers were “turning the world upside down,” and how that same Spirit-filled courage is needed today. You will also hear about the shift to an elder-led church, the cost of discipleship, and why returning to the book of Acts is key for the days ahead.

If this teaching helps you, share it with a friend and spend time in Acts 17 on your own this week.

Line upon line through Acts 17:1-4. This expository teaching traces how Paul preached Jesus from the Old Testament, why the Bereans searched the Scriptures, and how Acts shows the shift from law to grace. Learn why the Bible’s progressive revelation matters for faith today, and why our Church must prize both truth and love. Simple, clear, and anchored in Scripture.

Key points:

 * Paul proved Jesus as the Christ using the Old Testament
 * The Berean model, hear with open minds, test with Scripture
 * Acts as a transitional book, law to grace
 * Salvation by grace through faith in Christ’s blood
 * A call to own your faith, not borrow it
