1. A city full of idols (16-21)

When Paul arrived in Athens, he was distressed to see many idols. He spoke in both the synagogue and marketplace, preaching the good news about Jesus. His words sounded like babbling to the Greek philosophers, so they invited him to speak further at a meeting of the Areopagus.

2. Proclaiming God in Athens (22-34)

Paul proclaimed God who was unknown in Athens. He is the Creator and sustainer of life. He is the ruler of all things, and we are his offspring. Therefore, we should worship him-not idols. The unknown God revealed himself in Christ, who he raised from the dead. Paul called the Athenians to repent their idol worship and to receive God who appointed Jesus as their Judge and Savior. This is worship.
