Acts 17:1–9 HCSB
1 Then they traveled through Amphipolis and Apollonia and came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue. 2 As usual, Paul went to the synagogue, and on three Sabbath days reasoned with them from the Scriptures, 3 explaining and showing that the Messiah had to suffer and rise from the dead: “This Jesus I am proclaiming to you is the Messiah.” 4 Then some of them were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, including a great number of God-fearing Greeks, as well as a number of the leading women. 5 But the Jews became jealous, and they brought together some scoundrels from the marketplace, formed a mob, and started a riot in the city. Attacking Jason’s house, they searched for them to bring them out to the public assembly. 6 When they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some of the brothers before the city officials, shouting, “These men who have turned the world upside down have come here too, 7 and Jason has received them as guests! They are all acting contrary to Caesar’s decrees, saying that there is another king—Jesus!” 8 The Jews stirred up the crowd and the city officials who heard these things. 9 So taking a security bond from Jason and the others, they released them.

Sub: Turning The World Upside Down

Intro:

On April the 24th at the Tent Revival in Dallas Tx. We always have a street report during the night service. Carl Scott gave the report that 2 accepted Christ and 2 rejected Christ. In the first 4 verses we see the acceptors verses 5-9 we now see the rejectors.

Context:

is the middle chapter of three which deal with the second missionary journey. Its treatment of three evangelism missions however, clearly focuses on Athens where, for the first time in Scripture, the message of the one true God confronted the society of many gods.

Transition:

North American cities today are much more like Athens than Jerusalem. Centers of education and culture, sophisticated cities house people too caught up in themselves to pay much attention to God’s truth. Yet in all these major modern population centers we find strong congregations of believers speaking God’s truth to society just as Paul did in Athens hundreds of years ago.
