Outline

The gospel message never changes but the people we want to reach with that gospel change all the time. Learn from how the Apostle Paul adapted his presentations of the gospel to various audiences in the book of Acts. This seminar looks specifically at Paul's message in Athens and seeks to apply his method to our world today.

Communicating Good News: No matter how odd it may sound.
