TRUTH AND UNCERTAINTY

Text: Acts 17:1-12

The Source of our Authority – The Word of God

The Impact of the Truth – Some will be persuaded

The Opposition to Truth -

A contrary agenda

Stirring up the masses

False accusations

Cries of conspiracy

Identifying “the enemy”

The Impact of Mass Emotions – Truth is Suppressed

A New Opportunity –

A receptive audience

Truth confirmed by scripture

Many believed

Living in times of Uncertainty -

1. Hold fast to the Truth

Examine the Scriptures

2. Withhold comment

Even fools are thought wise if they keep silent, and discerning if they hold their tongues. (Proverbs 17:28)

Fools find no pleasure in understanding but delight in

airing their own opinions. (Proverbs 18:2)

It is to one’s honor to avoid strife, but every fool is quick to quarrel. (Proverbs 20:3)
