  3. MEMORY VERSE The Gospel 1 Corinthians 15:3,4 “For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:” 1 Corinthians 15:3,4 (KJV)

  4. 1 Corinthians 15:3, 4 “For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,  That he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,”  1 Corinthians 15:3, 4 (NIV)

  5. Watch for opportunities and ways to find common ground. (16-17, 22-23) • Paul went where people where physically and began where they were intellectually. 1. Turn internal turmoil into positive action. (16) 2. Use a balanced and adaptive approach. (17) 3. Affirm the religious interests of the audience. (22) 4. Build a case for the one true God, using examples the audience could understand. (23)

  6. Illuminate poor views of God. (24-26) • Paul gently, but firmly, exposed the errant views of the Athenians. 1. God is the Creator (24) 2. God is the Provider (25) 3. God is the Ruler (26)

  7. Nurture that part of each person that wants to know God. (27) • Paul knew that there is a God-built part of every person that wants to know God. 1. God desires that every one seek Him. 2. God can be felt or touched. 3. God can be found. 4. God is not far but is accessible and available anytime.

  8. Study the world and its ways. (18, 21, 28-29) • Paul was a student of the culture. He spoke in a language that the world understands. 1. Know the people we are going to talk to about the Lord. (18, 21) 2. Be up-to-date with the latest fads/trends, especially in philosophy and theology. (28-29)

  9. Offer the proof of Christianity. (31) • Paul spoke of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. 1. Remember to talk about the resurrection. 2. Tell the lost that Christ’s resurrection is the focal point of the faith, proving the central theme of Christianity. (1 Corinthians 15:13-14)

  10. Make clear every person’s accountability for his or her life. (30-31) • The lost needs to be told of a life audit. 1. God had not judged yet the lost’s former ignorance. (30) 2. God now commands everyone to turn away from idols and turn to Him. (30) 3. God has set a day to judge the world through His Son. (31)

  11. Expect a variety of responses. (18-20, 32-34) • Paul received varied responses. 1. Some will discuss with us. (18-20) 2. Some will insult or mock us. (18, 32) 3. Some will want to hear more. (32) 4. Some will believe. (34)
