    Main Idea:  To introduce God to the world, our hearts must be ready to reveal God’s supremacy, calling the world to repentance & faith in Jesus Christ.

  • 1.     Have Awareness: Our hearts should be      by the world which is empty with its idolatry and bankrupt philosophy. (v. 16-21)

    • The world’s      : “Enjoy life!” (Epicureans), or “Endure life! (Stoics)
    • The world’s      : Gospel is foreign to them! 


    2.     Introduce God: We must show God’s      and reveal man’s sinfulness & need of God. (v. 22-28)
     
    NOTE: When talking to unbelievers try to find      ground. (v. 22-23)

    3.     Call to Repent & Believe: Our message is one of repentance &      in Jesus Christ. (v. 30-34)
