Sent and Contextualized

In this challenging message from our SENT series, Pastor Thomas Cornette preaches from Acts 17:16–34, where the Apostle Paul stands in the middle of a culture filled with idols and philosophies—and shares the Gospel in a way that both confronts and connects.

As believers, we’re not called to avoid culture or be shaped by it, but to encounter, engage, and expose it to the truth of Jesus Christ. Just as Paul reasoned in Athens with wisdom and compassion, we too are called to speak the Gospel with understanding and courage in our own world today.

Key Points:

1. Encountering the Culture with a Missional Lens

2. Engaging the Culture to Understand the Culture

3. Exposing the Culture to the Gospel Message that Confronts and Fulfills Its Longings

📖 Scripture: Acts 17:16–34

🎙️ Speaker: Pastor Thomas Cornette

🏠 Series: SENT

💬 Takeaway:

When we encounter culture through God’s eyes, engage it with love, and expose it to the truth of the Gospel, lives are transformed—and the message of Jesus continues to move through every generation.
