Acts 17:16

Discover what Apostle Paul says about God as The Creator in Streetlights' 3-part Video Bible Study, based on the Book of Acts.

We are placed here and now for a reason. According to Acts 17:26-27, God marked out our time and place in history so that we could point others to Him. Paul shows how we should interact with nonbelievers in order to make the most of our proximity to others and introduce people to Him.

This four-day devotional traces the movement of the Holy Spirit from Acts 2 to 6, 7, and 17. Beginning with Pentecost, it explores Spirit-filled community and mission, then addresses internal conflict and faithful delegation in Acts 6. In Acts 7, Stephen models bold, Spirit-empowered witness. Finally, Acts 17 highlights Paul’s perseverance amid opposition, challenging believers to live with courage, clarity, and unwavering commitment to the gospel in every context.

Waiting is not easy, especially when we feel ready to move forward. There are times we have a clear vision of how things should unfold, and it's hard when God asks us to pause, listen to His voice, and follow His timing instead of our own. Many people in the Bible went through seasons of waiting, and it was often then that God revealed Himself more deeply. Over the next four days, we'll read Acts 17:16–21 and reflect on Paul's experience in Athens.
