Focus - Week Six The Unknown God Made Known Acts 17:16-34 When you show Jesus, others can know Jesus
Focus - When we get to know Jesus more, we are able to show Jesus more.
Today: We’re going to be talking about being a positive influence…
Preparing for college essays on influence… it’s all in the process.
Why is this important? It reminds you that you did not make it on your own—you had help…
And there’s a responsibility you bear because of that.
WHEN YOU SHOW JESUS, OTHERS CAN KNOW JESUS
Acts 17:16-34• The story so far… Paul gets kicked out of all the best places. • He ends up in Athens, and immediately creates a stir. • Standing on the Areopagus, he speaks to the trendy Athenians. • “Some” believed—including Dionysius and Damaris. • Who were they? What do we know about them? • Dionysius—his history and what happened to him. • Damaris—the most likely explanation of her identity is pretty radical….
When you show Jesus, you just might give someone the chance to change their life forever…
1. Remember your own story—that only you can tell… 2. Live every day as an opportunity to be a life-changer… 3. Pay attention to the little moments—they matter…
A bit of my own story—Some of the people who took a moment with me…
