Have you ever been in a situation where, as a believer in Jesus Christ, you felt outnumbered by those who opposed your faith? That's where we find the Apostle Paul in Acts 17. Paul was in the city of Athens and had an encounter with the religious elite of the city. Here's scene: in the city of Athens, there was (and is) and large rock area that is flat on the top. On top of that mountain is where the elite of the city used to gather for dialogue. On the way up to the top of the mountain was a pathway lined with pagan idols. Paul was making his way up the mountain and stopping by each idol. The conversation that followed grew out of Paul's burden for a lost city.
