Evangelism for the 21st Century (Part 3) - Quoting Poets

by Randy Newman

Acts 17:16-34

Teaching date: 07/16/2015

Summary

As we prepare to share the gospel with those around us, we must be sensitive to the audience we have. While the gospel always remains the same, we need to adapt our presentation of the gospel to best fit the person in front of us. One way to do this is to quote their poets, or to use insights from their own music and movies as bridges to the gospel. If we have an accurate understanding of the "poets" of today's culture, we can use this to connect the truth to what people may already be seeing or believing.
