Do you ever feel strange because of your faith? What if that wasn’t such a bad thing? And what if there was a purpose in it? In this sermon from August 1, 2021, those are questions which come up through this exploration of Acts 17:16-34. It is an account of Paul’s time with the philosophers of Athens, being called “strange,” and friction about the resurrection.

When it comes to faith, we need to fall out of love with fitting in, and to embrace the goodness of God in Christ — even what that seems ‘strange’ to others.
