Making the Unknown God Known
Psalm 66:8-20 & Acts 17:22-31

The text for the 6th Sunday of Easter turns our attention to the reasonableness of faith in Christ. Acts 17 tells us that the unknown God has to be made known. The problem isn’t that there is only one religion, but too many!  So Paul says that the unknown God is what he has come to proclaim to the people. In making the unknown God known, Paul reasons that too many religions obscure God while God should be obvious, since God is relatable and has the right to judge the world he has made.
People don’t naturally know God. God wants us to know him. Psalm 68 and Acts 17 gives us reason to pursue knowing him. That he daily bears our burdens, he is a God who saves and provides an escape from death. (Ps. 68:19-20) He gives space to repent since judgement is coming.
In a pandemic knowing God and making him known provides comfort to the believer and invites the lost to the clarity of faith. In the word’s of Ravi Zacharis, this sermon will "help the thinker believe and the believer to think."
