  Hello. Welcome to the No God Coach
• 0:03
  Huddle for May 16, 2025. Your two-minute
• 0:07
  play of the day for applying God's word
• 0:09
  in your life. So, let's huddle up and
• 0:11
  hear today's play from Acts 17, which
• 0:14
  says, "As was his custom, Paul went into
• 0:16
  the synagogue, and on three Sabbath
• 0:19
  days, he reasoned with them from the
• 0:20
  scriptures, explaining and proving that
• 0:23
  the Messiah had to suffer and rise from
• 0:25
  the dead. This Jesus I am proclaiming to
• 0:28
  you is the Messiah. He said now the
• 0:30
  Berean Jews were of more noble character
• 0:33
  than those in Thessalonica. For they
• 0:35
  received the message with great
• 0:36
  eagerness and examined the scriptures to
• 0:39
  every day to see if what Paul said was
• 0:41
  true. For as I walked around and looked
• 0:43
  carefully at your objects of worship, I
• 0:46
  even found an altar with this
• 0:48
  inscription to an unknown God. So you
• 0:51
  are ignorant of the very thing you
• 0:53
  worship. And this is what I am going to
• 0:54
  proclaim to you. For he has set a day
• 0:57
  when he will judge the world with
• 0:59
  justice by the man he has appointed. And
• 1:01
  he has given proof of this to everyone
• 1:03
  by raising him from the
• 1:06
  dead. Paul had different approaches to
• 1:08
  evangelism that we should consider as we
• 1:11
  also are required by the great
• 1:13
  commission which is our mission to share
• 1:16
  the gospel with others. To those who had
• 1:18
  a biblical basis for their belief in God
• 1:20
  but didn't understand the scriptures,
• 1:23
  Paul argued for salvation through Christ
• 1:25
  as the pro promised Messiah by God who
• 1:28
  is predicted in those scriptures. For
• 1:31
  those who were ignorant entirely of the
• 1:32
  scriptures but were God worshippers,
• 1:35
  Paul argued for the proof of the one
• 1:36
  true God in Jesus by virtue of his
• 1:39
  creation and resurrection. Those who
• 1:42
  responded well and knew of the
• 1:44
  scriptures searched those scriptures for
• 1:46
  understanding and came to believe. Those
• 1:49
  ignorant of the scriptures were
• 1:50
  persuaded by the gospel message of God's
• 1:53
  work in the world and the Holy Spirit
• 1:55
  who convicts of judgment to come. People
• 1:58
  in America are ignorant of the
• 2:00
  scriptures for the most part but are
• 2:02
  still influenced in their belief about
• 2:03
  God by cultural Christianity. Sharing
• 2:06
  Jesus in Latin America where there is a
• 2:08
  great Catholic influence would also be
• 2:11
  effective by using the scriptures as it
• 2:13
  would be in America. In Asia and still
• 2:16
  much of Africa, the work of God through
• 2:18
  Jesus must be explained, emphasizing the
• 2:21
  resurrection of the dead, which is an
• 2:23
  arguably historical event. In all cases,
• 2:26
  the Holy Spirit must convict a person of
• 2:28
  their sin, God's righteousness in
• 2:30
  Christ, and a judgment to come where we
• 2:32
  will be held accountable to God's
• 2:35
  standard in Christ or pardoned by God's
• 2:37
  work through Christ. Jesus lived the
• 2:40
  life we are all to live. The perfect
• 2:42
  life Jesus lived is impossible for any
• 2:45
  of us to live. The consequence of
• 2:47
  failure is condemnation unless we repent
• 2:50
  and receive forgiveness for our sins and
• 2:53
  appropriation of his righteousness. For
• 2:56
  all humanity, people need to know this
• 2:58
  situation.
