Acts 17:22–34 “The Unknown God” Paul speaks the language of the people around him while still faithfully proclaiming Jesus. This message explores evangelism, public witness, and how the church can communicate the gospel meaningfully in a spiritually fragmented world.

Paul walks through Athens and feels the tension between grief and compassion. This week explores how Christians engage culture without fear, superiority, or withdrawal. Mission begins with seeing clearly.

The beast is any system that demands allegiance that belongs to God alone.

Week 2 – The Weight We Cannot Carry Apprentice: The Rich Young Ruler Text: Mark 10:17–31 He runs to Jesus. He kneels. He wants eternal life. But he cannot release what anchors him.

Week 1 – Conceived in the Dark  Apprentice: Nicodemus Text: John 3:1–8 Nicodemus comes at night. Curious. Confused. Reputable but searching. Apprenticeship begins in questions, not certainty.
