17.5 Let’s Personalize this Lesson…

Are you comfortable with our cultures taking over the lives of our people, at the expense
of their salvation? We must confront our culture! But how do we do that? Paul’s third
missionary journey teaches us that it is by understanding that Jesus has power over
these three cultural ideas: Jesus is over religiosity (18:24-19:7), Jesus is over Satanic
strongholds (19:11-22), Jesus is over shallow secularism (19:23-41).
