The Living God | Full Service Video

Paul's message to the people of Athens on the Areopagus is one of the most effective presentations of the gospel to a non-christian audience in all of scripture. Just as Paul encountered a city full of false gods in Athens, we too are surrounded by subtle idols competing for our devotion. These may not be physical statues, but could be anything from material success to relationships, social media, or even our own appearance. The message reminds us that true fulfillment comes only from seeking the one living God, not these modern-day idols. We're called to recognize our idolatry, repent, and turn continuously to the Creator who gives us life and sustains us. This journey of faith invites us to be genuinely broken rather than falsely happy, encouraging authenticity in our spiritual walk. As we reflect on our own lives, we're prompted to identify our personal idols and recommit ourselves to the God who defeated death through Christ's resurrection.
