No God But God

Acts 14:8-18

April 6, 1997

 

I. A Twisted Look

 

The multitudes look for a god:

1. That makes them feel better

2. That is like them (not transcendent)

3. That they can explain

4. That fits their superstitions

5. That does not call them into account for their sin and disobedience

II. An Unchanging Truth

 

But, there is no God but God (by virtue of...):

1. Creation v. 15

2. Sovereignty v. 16 (permitted - there is man's free will)

3. Mercy v. 17 (common grace)

III. A Daunting Task

 

Unfortunately, darkened hearts won't believe (v. 18). Yet, we must...

1. Admit our own sinfulness v. 15

2. Preach the gospel v. 15

3. Appeal to sinners to repent v. 15

4. Own no personal glory v. 14, 18
