Evangelism in Acts 17: The Gospel to Pagan Philosophers
Evangelism in Acts 17 (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts%2017&version=ESV) is the sixteenth episode in our series looking at the evangelistic encounters found in the Book of Acts. Did Paul forget to mention the name of Jesus at speaking at the Areopagus in Acts 17? Was he ashamed of Christ or the scriptures? Did he even share the Gospel with these Polytheists?
These are all challenges our team has heard or read from Christians who take Paul to task for his failures at Mars hill in Acts 17. But are their critiques justified, or is there more going on in this passage that some are missing?
The evangelism in Acts 17 was crucial to the biblical evangelism training the Engage 360 developed. When we developed our training approach for Engage 360, we did not focus on what verses can be used to explain the Gospel. Instead, we looked to the Bible and asked the question, “What did they actually do?” Below is the summary of their approach.
G: Gauge your audience
O: Offer common ground
S: Shift to Christianity and the Gospel
P: Provide evidence
E: Explain the Gospel
L: Leave with a clear next step

Evangelism in Acts 16: The Conversion of Lydia and the Philippian Jailer
Evangelism in Acts 16 is the fifteenth episode in our series looking at the evangelistic encounters found in the Book of Acts. In this episode, Matt and Tricia Scribner discuss the evangelism in Acts 16 which covers a range of several fascinating events. The chapter starts with Paul, Silas, and Timothy setting out on a missionary journey. Paul receives a vision to go to the Macedonian church and they set out. In Philippi they experience the conversion of Lydia and, after being arrested, the conversion of the Philippian jailer.
The evangelism in Acts 16 is a good example of how God uses the faithfulness of His disciples to bring the Gospel to others, even through suffering!

Evangelism in Acts 15: The Gospel Implications of the Jerusalem Council
Evangelism in Acts 15 is the fourteenth episode in our series looking at the evangelistic encounters found in the Book of Acts. In this episode, Matt and Tricia Scribner discuss the Gospel implications of the Jerusalem council. While there is not a direct evangelistic in Acts 15, we decided that the motivations for and implications of this council have significant implication for evangelism going forward as Christianity spreads into the Gentil world.
