Acts 17:16-18,22

In reading these verses – we have the Athenians, Epicureans, Stoicks, and the comment from Paul that they were too religious. The Athenians were given to idolatry- what connection can you make to today’s culture? The epicureans represent atheists and those who live for pleasure what connection can you make? The Stoicks represent a pantheistic religion with a suppression of pleasure and desire, what connection can you make? The comment that they were too religions can be connected to who in our culture today?

What statements in v 18, 22 tells us how lost these people are?

What does it mean to be given wholly to idols?

Describe why Paul was stirred for the people? How can you make this connection to your own life?
