Have you ever been in a situation where knowing a bit of background or context would have changed how you handled it? I know I have. From making the wrong joke in front of the wrong person to mishaps on international trips, I’ve definitely put my foot in my mouth and wished I had known one key piece of information.

In Acts 17, we see Paul sharing the good news of Jesus in Thessalonica and later in Athens. Interestingly, he approaches each place differently. Why?

This Sunday, we’ll take a closer look at this chapter and discover what we can learn from Paul about engaging different cultures and people with the good news of Jesus.
