Part 48 | Culturally Relevant, not Culturally Aligned

The focus of this lesson is on the way that that Paul went about preaching and constructing his message to the Athenian Council. (In the next lesson we will revisit Acts 17:24-31 to explore the theology of the message itself) Paul’s speech is a perfect example of the right way to be culturally relevant in delivering the Gospel message. The goal of this lesson is to exhort people to do the work of “translating” the Gospel to the people around them, preaching the Gospel in a way that is culturally relevant, but not culturally aligning.
