01. The World Turned Upside Down Pt.3 // The Worshippers - Tobi Ford-Western // Acts 17:16-34

This message explores Acts 17, where the Apostle Paul arrives in Athens and is deeply moved by a city full of idols. Instead of condemning people, Paul engages them with compassion, reasoning with their culture and pointing them to the truth of Jesus Christ. The sermon draws parallels between ancient Athens and modern cities like Brighton, showing how idols today can take the form of money, pleasure, success, or identity. Ultimately, the message calls listeners to respond as Paul urged - through repentance and faith in Jesus, who took our sin so we could experience forgiveness, freedom, and new life.
