00:00Welcome to
00:04Studies with Stearman. Join us as we look
00:08deeper into the Bible. Strengthen your faith with us
00:12even as we see the day approaching. And now
00:16here's Gary. Well we have been
00:19going through the book of Acts
00:22and on this trip through Acts what we're doing is studying the history of the Holy
00:28Spirit. Now the name of the book of the Acts
00:30is praches in the
00:34Greek which means history. The history of the
00:38apostles. But actually
00:41when you really look at the book of Acts it's the history of
00:45the Holy Spirit. That is to say the Holy Spirit
00:49was given to humanity on the day of Pentecost
00:54and then you can actually trace the progress
00:57and the will of God
00:59through His Holy Spirit as you go through
01:01the book of Acts. So let's go back
01:04to Acts chapter
01:0617
01:07starting at about verse 23
01:10and review. Today we'll go into
01:12Acts chapter 18
01:14and then maybe even 19
01:16if we have time. But who knows.
01:19Acts chapter
01:1917
01:21The Holy Spirit has taken Paul
01:23in a very special way by himself
01:26to Athens. It was his plan
01:29on the second missionary journey to
01:32venture around the Aegean Sea
01:34to the north, come in through Philippi,
01:37Thessalonica, Berea, and on south through Macedonia
01:40into Achaia. With him
01:42would be Luke
01:43and Silas and others.
01:46Other disciples that he had gathered
01:48with him on that trip.
01:50Well, owing to some problems
01:51that he encountered in Thessalonica
01:53he had to take a sea route
01:55by himself, take a boat
01:57and he sailed south to Athens
01:59and he arrived there by himself
02:01almost Mr. Anonymous
02:03and he began to look around
02:04and to find contacts
02:06and among the things that he did
02:09was to confront the Greek philosophers
02:11at Mars Hill
02:12which we looked at two weeks ago.
02:14Now, in verse 23
02:16Paul comes to the Areopagus
02:19that is Mars Hill
02:21the place where people gathered
02:23to share the latest and the greatest
02:25in philosophical news.
02:27All the latest findings
02:28the latest understanding
02:30the latest developments in thought
02:32and they were altogether titillated
02:35by anything they could find out
02:37all the latest word
02:38from all the provinces and so forth
02:41this was kind of cable TV
02:43Athens style
02:45there in the marketplace
02:46and Paul comes in
02:48and in verse 23
02:50is the well-known verse
02:52for as I passed by
02:53I beheld your devotions
02:55and I found an altar
02:56with this inscription
02:57to the unknown God
02:59whom therefore ye ignorantly worship
03:02him declare I unto you
03:04now what that's really saying is
03:08not to the unknown God
03:10but to the God unknowable
03:12and we mentioned this
03:13last time we encountered
03:14this verse
03:15in the Greek
03:16what is said here
03:18or the descriptive phrase is
03:19agnostotheo
03:21a God unknowable
03:23and it literally
03:24is talking about
03:25the God of the Greek Gnostics
03:27who theorized about God
03:29and they said
03:30he would never come to earth
03:33because he would never
03:33sully himself
03:35by coming to earth
03:36and living among these
03:37unclean human beings
03:39and so God lived
03:40in some far far away
03:41dimension
03:41and the only way
03:43he touched the earth
03:44was through emanations
03:45called demiurgos
03:47and these emanations
03:48came down
03:50and would manifest themselves
03:51in spiritual form
03:52and sometimes
03:53in visible form
03:54as gods and goddesses
03:55and so the Greeks
03:57and then the early
03:59Christian Gnostics
04:00said that Jesus
04:02did not come to earth
04:03physically
04:03but he was a
04:04demiurge
04:05he was a
04:06spiritual manifestation
04:08who dwelt on earth
04:10for a while
04:10and then he disappeared
04:11back into heaven again
04:12so he wasn't really
04:14a fleshly creature
04:15or a fleshly person
04:16he was a spiritual creature
04:17well
04:19everywhere Paul goes
04:20he is dead set
04:21against
04:22Judeo-Gnosticism
04:24and Greek Gnosticism
04:25and he declares
04:26the glory of God
04:27through Christ
04:28who came in
04:29the flesh
04:30born of a virgin
04:31and who was
04:32resurrected
04:33in the flesh
04:35and by the way
04:36who lives
04:37right now
04:38even as we're speaking
04:39as a fleshly creature
04:41Jesus is not a spirit
04:43he is God
04:45and he dwells
04:47in human flesh
04:48if he walked up
04:49the aisle right now
04:50and well
04:52probably I'd fall
04:52on my face
04:53but
04:54if he walked up
04:55and said
04:56don't fall on your face
04:57Gary
04:57he held out his hand
04:58like this
04:58and I shook hands
05:00with him
05:00it would just be
05:01shaking hands
05:02with an ordinary
05:03fleshly human being
05:05that's what he was
05:07what he is
05:07but the Judeo-Gnostics
05:10the Greek Gnostics
05:11and by extension
05:12the philosophers
05:14of western civilization
05:16tried to turn Jesus
05:18into a spirit creature
05:20some kind of a
05:22now you see him
05:23now you don't
05:24spirit creature
05:25well the Greeks
05:27said you can't know God
05:29because he's up there
05:31we're down here
05:31and he would never
05:32ever
05:33ever
05:33ever
05:34sully himself
05:36by touching
05:36this earth
05:37if he so much
05:39as touched his toe
05:40to the earth
05:40he wouldn't be God
05:42anymore
05:42because he would be
05:43dirtied by it all
05:44well Jesus lived
05:45thirty years
05:46in a physical
05:47human body
05:48with all the
05:49attendant miseries
05:50imagine being
05:52the son of God
05:53and lowering yourself
05:55to the point
05:56that you would
05:56consent to live
05:57in a human body
05:58with all of its
05:59needs for hygiene
06:00for the ingestion
06:03of nutrition
06:03all of the difficulties
06:05of the human body
06:06it has to be kept
06:08clean
06:08it has to be kept
06:09clothed
06:10on and on and on
06:11and still
06:12through it all
06:13though he was
06:14a human
06:15he was also
06:17God
06:17an utter
06:19violation
06:20of every thought
06:21ever thought
06:22by a Greek
06:23every Greek
06:25would have
06:25absolutely thrown up
06:26at the thought
06:27that God came down
06:28and was
06:29human flesh
06:30but he was
06:31and so Paul goes in
06:32and he said
06:33you know I passed
06:34by as I came
06:35into the Areopagus
06:36and out there
06:36was a statue
06:37or an engraving
06:39to the God
06:39unknowable
06:40the God
06:41of the Greek
06:41Gnostics
06:42and he said
06:43I want you to know
06:44I can declare God
06:45to you
06:46I can tell you
06:46exactly who he is
06:47verse 24
06:48God that made
06:49the world
06:50and all things
06:51therein
06:51seeing that he
06:51is Lord of heaven
06:52and earth
06:53dwells not in
06:54temples made
06:54with hands
06:55neither is worship
06:55with men's hands
06:56as though he
06:58needed anything
06:59seeing he
07:00giveth to all
07:01life and breath
07:02and all things
07:03and he made
07:03of one blood
07:05all nations
07:06he made of one
07:07blood all nations
07:08that is to say
07:09he has made
07:11from one
07:12every nation
07:14of mankind
07:16the blood
07:17of Adam
07:18became
07:19every nation
07:20on planet earth
07:21for to dwell
07:23on the face
07:23of the earth
07:25and have determined
07:26the times
07:26before appointed
07:27the bounds
07:28of their habitation
07:29in other words
07:30God not only
07:31revealed himself
07:32to the people
07:33of this planet
07:33but he has
07:35determined the
07:35outcome
07:36of the people
07:36of this planet
07:37my thought
07:39based on Bible
07:40study
07:40is that this world
07:42is an exhibition
07:43this world
07:44is kind of a
07:45diorama
07:46you know what
07:47a diorama is
07:48you go to a museum
07:49and you've got
07:50these incredible
07:51displays
07:51showing how
07:52a particular
07:54culture lived
07:54at a particular
07:55time
07:56and accompanying
07:56the diorama
07:57there may be
07:58audio video
07:59presentations
07:59there may be
08:00little cards
08:01to read
08:01and when you
08:02leave the diorama
08:03you'll have
08:03a complete idea
08:04of how they
08:05lived in the
08:0510th century
08:06in Europe
08:07for example
08:07whatever the
08:08diorama
08:09happens to be
08:09about
08:10well
08:11I think of
08:12earth as a
08:13diorama
08:136,000 years
08:15of human history
08:16that will forever
08:18live as an
08:19exhibit
08:19in the heavens
08:20so that if
08:22somebody comes up
08:23with a brilliant
08:23idea in the future
08:24about how to
08:25create a wonderful
08:26world
08:26God will just
08:27point to that
08:27diorama
08:28that exhibit
08:29and he'll say
08:29go watch that
08:31and see what
08:31human beings did
08:32when they were
08:33left to their
08:33own devices
08:34I dare you
08:35buy a big
08:38big container
08:39of popcorn
08:39before you go
08:40there by the way
08:41it's a long
08:42diorama
08:42but when you
08:43see what human
08:44beings are like
08:45when you turn
08:45them loose
08:46you'll hurl
08:47your socks
08:47my friend
08:48it's bad
08:49well
08:51the Greeks
08:52on the other
08:52hand
08:53thought
08:53human beings
08:54are good
08:54they were the
08:55ultimate
08:55manifestation
08:56of intelligence
08:58and their
09:00intelligence
09:01stemmed from
09:02these emanations
09:03that came from
09:04God himself
09:05and so they
09:05worshipped
09:06intelligence
09:07by the way
09:08western society
09:09worships
09:10intelligence
09:10even to this
09:11day
09:11that's what
09:12we worship
09:13intelligence
09:14human
09:16intelligence
09:17science
09:18technology
09:19better living
09:20through chemistry
09:21etc etc
09:21the greening
09:23of the planet
09:24that is what
09:24we worship
09:25by the way
09:26it's self
09:26worship
09:27that's all
09:27it is
09:28God is not
09:31worshipped
09:32with men's
09:32hands
09:33says Paul
09:34verse 26
09:35out of the
09:36blood of Adam
09:37he made all
09:38the nations
09:38and he determined
09:39their outcome
09:41verse 27
09:42that they should
09:43seek the Lord
09:43if happily
09:44they might
09:45feel after him
09:46and find him
09:47if by chance
09:48says Paul
09:49they might
09:49grope
09:50after God
09:51like blind
09:52men in the
09:52dark
09:53and maybe
09:54by accident
09:55lay hands
09:55on God
09:56though he
09:58be not very
09:59far from
09:59every one
10:00of us
10:00Paul said
10:00you're looking
10:01for him
10:02but you can't
10:02see him
10:03even though
10:03he's right
10:04here
10:04that's what
10:05Paul's saying
10:06for in him
10:08we live
10:08and move
10:09and have
10:09our being
10:10as certain
10:10also of
10:11your own
10:11poets
10:12have said
10:12for we
10:13are also
10:14his
10:14offspring
10:15and here
10:16he quotes
10:17a couple
10:18of Greek
10:18poets
10:19as we
10:19mentioned
10:20earlier
10:20we are
10:21his
10:22offspring
10:23we are
10:25the offspring
10:25of this
10:26unknowable
10:27God
10:28Erastus
10:30in 270
10:31BC
10:31wrote a
10:33Greek
10:33heroic
10:34poem
10:35he was
10:36a stoic
10:36and he
10:37wrote
10:37something
10:38called
10:38the
10:38invocation
10:39to
10:39Zeus
10:40in which
10:41he said
10:41we too
10:42are his
10:43offspring
10:43and another
10:45Greek
10:45Cleanthes
10:46writing in
10:46300 BC
10:47wrote a
10:49hymn
10:49to Zeus
10:50saying
10:52we are
10:52his
10:53offspring
10:53so there
10:54was a
10:55universal
10:55belief
10:56in the
10:56Greek
10:56culture
10:57that
10:57human
10:58beings
10:59are the
10:59offspring
10:59of the
11:00gods
11:01and so
11:02Paul just
11:03simply
11:03extending
11:04something
11:04that they
11:05already
11:05believe
11:06but he's
11:06going to
11:06turn it
11:07around
11:07of course
11:08by declaring
11:09who God
11:10actually
11:11is
11:11verse 29
11:12for as much
11:12then as we
11:13are the
11:13offspring
11:14of God
11:14we ought
11:15not
11:15to think
11:15that the
11:16godhead
11:16is likened
11:16to gold
11:17silver
11:17stone
11:18graven
11:18by art
11:19and man's
11:19device
11:20and the
11:21times of
11:22this
11:22ignorance
11:23God
11:23winked
11:24at
11:25it says
11:25the King
11:25James
11:26he
11:26looked
11:27past
11:28it
11:28it says
11:28in the
11:29Greek
11:29in other
11:30words
11:31God
11:31allowed
11:32for a
11:32period
11:33of
11:33ignorance
11:34before
11:34the
11:35coming
11:35of
11:35the
11:35Messiah
11:364,000
11:38years
11:38roughly
11:38from
11:39Adam
11:39to
11:39Christ
11:40and

11:41that
11:42period

34:14these

34:16think
34:16are
34:1620th
34:17and 21st
34:18century
34:18arguments
34:19have been
34:20going on
34:20since the
34:21birth of
34:21the church
34:21there's
34:23this
34:23monumental
34:24contest
34:24between
34:25the secular
34:26and the
34:27sacred
34:27and we're
34:29just simply
34:29carrying the
34:30same torch
34:31that was
34:31carried
34:31by Paul
34:32and Paul
34:34after this
34:34tarried
34:35there
34:35yet a
34:36good
34:36while
34:37and then
34:37took his
34:37leave of
34:38the brethren
34:38and sailed
34:39unto Syria
34:40and with
34:40him
34:40Priscilla
34:41and Aquila
34:42having
34:43shorn his
34:44said
34:44in
34:45Sancria
34:45for he
34:47had a
34:47vow
34:48now
34:49this is
34:49one of
34:49those
34:50interesting
34:50biblical
34:51descriptions
34:52in which
34:53things happen
34:54bang bang
34:55bang bang
34:55in a
34:56hurry
34:56I mean
34:56sometimes
34:57we linger
34:58for an
34:58entire
34:58chapter
34:59over
34:59something
35:00that
35:00just
35:00took
35:00one
35:01day
35:01here
35:01we've
35:02got
35:02months
35:03crowded
35:03into
35:04a few
35:04little
35:04words
35:05and Paul
35:07after this
35:08tarried
35:09there
35:10yet a
35:11good
35:11while
35:11he
35:12stayed
35:12a long
35:13time
35:13and he
35:14continued
35:15to do
35:15his
35:15work
35:15thanks to
35:17Gallio
35:17we must
35:19be thankful
35:20to Gallio
35:21because
35:22Gallio
35:23and I'm
35:23tempted to
35:24say
35:24Gallio
35:25he did
35:27his work
35:28on behalf
35:29of Paul
35:30this guy
35:32wasn't even
35:32saved
35:33or was he
35:34maybe later
35:36on we'll
35:36find out
35:37that Paul
35:37witnessed
35:38to Gallio
35:38too
35:39although
35:39that's not
35:40in the
35:40Bible
35:40we just
35:41kind of
35:42have to
35:42wonder
35:42about that
35:43one
35:43and Paul
35:45after this
35:45tarried there
35:46a good
35:46while
35:47then took
35:47his leave
35:47of the
35:48brethren
35:48sailed
35:48then to
35:49Syria
35:50and with
35:51him
35:51Priscilla
35:51and Aquila
35:52having shorn
35:53his head
35:53in Sincrea
35:54for he
35:55had a
35:56vow
35:56so now
35:59he
36:00having
36:00gone
36:00through
36:01Athens
36:02and Corinth
36:03reasoned
36:05with secular
36:06philosophers
36:07and reasoned
36:08with the
36:09people who
36:09were trying
36:10to put him
36:10out of
36:10business
36:11under Roman
36:11law
36:12and having
36:13worked his
36:14craft as a
36:15tent maker
36:15day in
36:16and day
36:16out
36:17and by
36:18the way
36:19it's kind
36:20of an
36:20interesting
36:21side note
36:22remember
36:23those Greeks
36:24who said
36:25that God
36:25would never
36:26come to
36:26earth
36:27because he
36:28would sully
36:29himself
36:29well our
36:30God
36:30the Lord
36:31Jesus Christ
36:31came to
36:32earth
36:32and he
36:33did sully
36:34himself
36:34his feet
36:35needed washing
36:36just like
36:36everybody else's
36:37feet
36:38and Paul
36:40worked as a
36:41tent maker
36:41you get
36:43hot
36:43you get
36:43sweaty
36:44you wipe
36:45your forehead
36:45on a
36:47cloth
36:47which is
36:47called a
36:48sudarion
36:48after a while
36:50that cloth
36:51you wipe
36:51your hands
36:52and you wipe
36:53your head
36:53and so forth
36:54after a while
36:55that cloth
36:55gets so
36:56dirty
36:56that you
36:58throw it
36:58aside
36:59and get
36:59another one
37:00and people
37:01were taking
37:01these cloths
37:02from Paul
37:03and sending
37:04them out
37:04they had
37:06so much
37:07of the
37:07attendant
37:07power of the
37:08Holy Spirit
37:09that they
37:09were laid
37:10upon people
37:10and people
37:11were actually
37:11healed
37:12by Paul's
37:14dirty
37:15sweat
37:15claws
37:16now what
37:18a thumb
37:19in the eye
37:19of Zeus
37:20because
37:22all the Greek
37:23gods
37:23were so pure
37:24they would
37:25never step
37:25foot on
37:26planet earth
37:26lest they
37:27sully
37:27themselves
37:28meanwhile
37:29Paul's
37:30dirty
37:30sweat
37:30claws
37:31were used
37:31for healing
37:32and the
37:34contrast
37:34there is
37:35absolutely
37:35marked
37:36you know
37:38that's who
37:39we are
37:39in Christ
37:40we are
37:40not down
37:41here
37:41to be
37:42separated
37:43from this
37:43earth
37:44to the
37:44point
37:45that we
37:45don't
37:46associate
37:47with that
37:47which is
37:48common
37:48we are
37:49to live
37:50on this
37:51earth
37:51as those
37:52who are
37:53here
37:53with work
37:54to do
37:55including
37:56sweaty
37:56work
37:57now Paul
38:00stays there
38:01he gets
38:02on a boat
38:03and he comes
38:04to emphasis
38:05notice
38:06notice that
38:07he's
38:07sailing
38:08back
38:08to Syria
38:09and with
38:11him are
38:11Priscilla
38:12and Aquila
38:12he shaves
38:14his head
38:15in
38:15Sincrea
38:15which is
38:16the eastern
38:16seaport
38:17of Corinth
38:18and he
38:21makes a
38:21vow
38:21well it
38:22was the
38:22Jewish
38:23custom
38:23if you
38:23were going
38:24to make
38:24a vow
38:25to shave
38:26your head
38:26in fact
38:27it was
38:28a violation
38:28of law
38:29if you go
38:30back and
38:30study
38:31Jewish law
38:32concerning
38:32haircuts
38:33you are
38:33never to
38:34cut the
38:35peos
38:35which grows
38:36from the
38:36temples
38:37down the
38:37side of
38:38the face
38:38and to
38:40shave
38:40one's head
38:41was to
38:42commit a
38:43disgraceful
38:43act
38:44and so
38:45if a Jew
38:46shaved his
38:46head
38:47saying
38:47by this
38:49exterior
38:49display
38:50I am
38:51going to
38:52inform
38:52everyone
38:53that I
38:53have a
38:54vow
38:54upon my
38:55head
38:55and I'm
38:55not going
38:56to rest
38:56until I
38:57complete
38:57my vow
38:58this is
38:59very much
38:59a Jewish
38:59cultural
39:00thing
39:01it tells
39:01us that
39:02Paul was
39:02still
39:03culturally
39:03a Jew
39:04at this
39:05time
39:05even though
39:07he was
39:08a Christian
39:08in every
39:09sense of
39:10the word
39:10he's now
39:12wanting to
39:12go back
39:13to Jerusalem
39:13and he
39:14has a
39:15vow
39:15upon his
39:15head
39:16we don't
39:16know
39:16what that
39:17vow
39:17is
39:17we're
39:18never
39:19told
39:19what it
39:19is
39:20but he
39:20wants
39:21to go
39:21back
39:21first he
39:23comes to
39:23Ephesus
39:24he enters
39:25into the
39:26synagogue
39:26and reasons
39:27with the
39:28Jews
39:28Ephesus
39:29is called
39:31the way
39:32in
39:33the idea
39:34of Ephesus
39:35is that
39:37it is
39:38considered
39:38the entry
39:39point
39:39into Asia
39:40Minor
39:41the seven
39:42churches
39:42of Asia
39:42Minor
39:43the first
39:43one of
39:43which
39:44was
39:44the
39:44church
39:45of
39:45Ephesus
39:45were the
39:47way
39:47in
39:48to the
39:48communities
39:49of Asia
39:50Minor
39:51and so
39:51Paul goes
39:52to Ephesus
39:52which is
39:53his other
39:53chief point
39:54of ministry
39:55remember
39:56Paul
39:56taught
39:57in Ephesus
39:58at the
39:59school
39:59of
39:59Tyrannus
40:00Ephesus
40:01became a
40:02church
40:02base
40:03of
40:03operations
40:03at that
40:04time
40:04it had
