Proof

November 2, 2025

The gospel isn’t about religion, it’s about relationship. In Acts 17, Paul shows us that our faith rests not on human ideas, but on the living proof of a resurrected Christ.

When Paul stood before the philosophers of Athens, he saw a city full of idols, including one dedicated to an "unknown god." His response reveals the heart of the Gospel: we don't serve God through human-made rituals or works righteousness, but through the transforming power of being "in Christ."

Drawing from Acts 17, Romans 8:1, 2 Corinthians 5:17, and Ephesians 1:3, this sermon unpacks how the Holy Spirit works through the Church and why the resurrection isn't just a historical event; it's our proof that God's promises are trustworthy. From creation to our current brokenness to ultimate restoration, the entire Gospel narrative points to one thing: God desires relationship with His children.

Whether you're wrestling with religious performance or seeking authentic faith, this message offers hope: in Christ, we find forgiveness, purpose, and the promise of a fully restored kingdom.
