Teaching Paul tells Athens about the God they don't know

The true God isn't a far-off statue - He made everything, and He is close to each one of us, wanting to be known and loved.

  • The people worshiped statues, but Paul told them about the living God. What's the difference between a pretend god and the real God?
  • Paul said God is "not far from any of us." How does it feel to know the God who made everything is near to you?
  • God made the whole world, yet He wants to know YOU. Why is that amazing?
