Invitation To The Overwhelmed

<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Gospel is not toothless.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Gospel is not weak or defenseless.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As Spurgeon said &amp;#8211; it is like a &amp;#8216;lion.&amp;#8217;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What do you do with a lion?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You set it loose.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In today&amp;#8217;s text, we&amp;#8217;ll see an example of this from Acts 17.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Questions That We&amp;#8217;ll Answer:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A)&lt;/strong&gt; What opposition did Paul and the apostles face?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;B)&lt;/strong&gt; What was the true (spiritual) source of that opposition?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;C)&lt;/strong&gt; What effect does the good news have upon a fallen world?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Speaker:&lt;/strong&gt; Dr. Toby Holt&lt;/p&gt;</description>
