1. The unknown God made known (22-29)

Among the idols in the city was one altar inscribed 'to an unknown God.' People long for God but do not know him. So Paul began to teach Genesis. He proclaimed to them God, the Creator of heaven and earth, who made all nations of people from one man. He is the one who controls nature and history. God wants all men everywhere to seek him and love him for we are his offspring. We should not think that God is an image made of gold or stone by man's design, nor is he a vague 'Force.'

2. People everywhere must repent (30-34)

God overlooked the ignorance of men in the past, but now he calls on people everywhere to repent. God has set a day when the world will be judged with justice. He has appointed Jesus as judge, and given proof of this to all men by raising him from the dead. Some sneered when Paul mentioned the resurrection, but a few wanted to hear more.

Application: Lord, I come to you with a repentant heart. Remove all idols from my heart.
One Word: Repent; worship the Creator God
