World Upside Down | Examining and Reasoning from the Scriptures 
(Acts 17:1-15)

Acts 17:1-15

“Scripture is like a working museum of which the Spirit is the Curator, showing us around and explaining the wonders of the mind of the Maker. In this museum we are taken behind the scenes to learn from God Himself. In growing to know God, therefore, there is no substitute for the discipline of Bible study and Scripture reading and meditation. We cannot bypass the handbook God has given to us and then expect that we can know Him in our own way. The only god we can know in our own way is a god that we make in our own image.” — Sinclair Ferguson 

“If I were the devil, one of my first aims would be to stop folk from digging into the Bible. I should do all I could to surround it with the spiritual equivalent of pits, thorns, and hedges, to frighten people off.” — J.I. Packer

  1. If reasonably presenting the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus from the Scriptures were a crime, every Christian should be guilty.

1 Peter 3:15 // 2 Corinthians 5:20 // Colossians 4:3-6

  1. The gospel confronts a world turned upside down by sin and reorients it under the Kingship of Jesus—a disruption that either softens hearts in repentance or hardens them in resistance.

Matthew 6:33 // Ephesians 5:22-25 // Colossians 3:12-13 // Colossians 3:23-24 // Romans 13:1-2

  1. Like the Bereans, we must personally and deeply examine the Word of God if we hope to call others to believe it.

2 Timothy 2:15 // Psalm 1:1-3 // James 1:22
