WEEKLY REFLECTIONS

 1.   Context in Athens: The Athenians had many idols to their gods in Athens.  What sorts of things are idolized in our society?

 2.   Do you see any elements of Stoicism and/or Epicureanism in our society today?  If so, what are they, and how does that relate to the Gospel?

 3.   Why is it important to remember that God is completely different from and superior to all creation?  How do we see this demonstrated in Scripture?

 4.   What does it mean that God is sovereign over creation?  What does this mean for our relationship to him?

 5.   How is the Gospel relevant to both the religious and the secular?  How does Jesus address both their needs?

 6.   Prayer Point: If you have been praying for an opportunity to build relationship with a specific person, what stage do you think they’re at?
