The world promises peace through power, control, politics, religion, comfort, and compromise. But every false kingdom eventually reveals itself for what it is.
In Acts 17:1-10, we see the collision between the kingdom of Christ and the kingdoms of this world. The gospel does not merely improve fallen man’s systems. It confronts them. The risen Christ turns the world right side up.
In this sermon through Acts 17, we examine:
• The false peace of the Pax Romana
• Why the suffering and resurrection of Christ were necessary
• How the gospel creates a new people with a new allegiance
• Why the world, religious systems, and political powers oppose Christ’s kingdom
• How the gospel continues spreading despite opposition
“This Jesus, whom I proclaim to you, is the Christ.” — Acts 17:3
If you are encouraged by this sermon, remember that online sermons are only a supplement to the Christian life, not a substitute for it. Christ did not call believers to isolated content consumption, but to active participation in a faithful local church through worship, fellowship, discipleship, accountability, prayer, and the ordinary means of grace.
If you do not have a healthy local church, we would encourage you to begin searching for one immediately. If you need help finding a biblically faithful church in your area, please reach out to us. We would be glad to help however we can.
