After having to leave Philippi, and then flee both Thessalonica and Berea, Paul makes his way to Athens. When he sees the lostness of Athens Paul is saddened. So he enters into the culture, engages with the people of the city, and shares the message of Jesus Christ and the resurrection. During his time in Athens Paul demonstrates what a good Gospel Conversation might look like, and how to pursue one. He starts with friendship, asks good questions, and keeps it simple! When you share God's story, you don't need all the answers—just your own answer.
Good Morning RCF, If it is your first time joining us either here in person or online- welcome, we are glad that you have chosen to join us. My name is Caleb- I am the lead pastor and this morning we are going to be looking at the first half of Acts 18. So if you brought your Bibles, either paper or electronic that is where we are going to be but before we jump in and get to work would you please pray with me: Lord we have so much to be thankful for. Most importantly, above all else- thank you for who You are and for the way that You work in our lives. Thank You for your unconditional love, your endless mercy, your protection, your grace, your constant provision. When we are mature we can even be thankful for your correction, your discipline. We acknowledge that we do not always trust You and we certainly do not always obey You and in response to our disobedience- to our sin, You sent Christ to the cross in order to put on display Your Holy, perfect love. Jesus we thank You for voluntarily going to the cross to offer redemption to any and all who would humble themselves. As we prepare to dig into the Scriptures- Holy Spirit we ask for You to open our hearts and minds to receive the truth so that we will be encouraged to develop a deeper, more intimate relationship with the Lord who is the Creator of all. Holy Spirit we ask for You to speak, for we your servants are listening. In the powerful name of Jesus Christ we pray- amen. Our question as we get started: What Trauma do you have? We all have trauma in our lives- trauma stays with us- even if we process our trauma well- in healthy ways- trauma is a life long thing. What does your trauma look like and how have we processed it? Processing trauma is dreadful, hard, painful and perhaps the worst of all- unavoidable. Whether we want to process trauma or not- isn't really the question- the question is how are we processing our trauma. Most of us, perhaps all of us at one time or another have tried to avoid the processing of our trauma and so we try to stuff our trauma down and the world is happy to offer plenty of options for stuffing trauma (alcohol, drugs, sexual pleasure, pursuit of wealth, becoming a workaholic, a hobby of some kind) whatever method of stuffing trauma we prefer at first seems to be a pretty great little short cut but in reality- until we actually process our trauma the short cuts actually prolong and magnify the impact of the trauma which means that the short cut isn't really a short cut at all. When we haven't processed our trauma when we are triggered by something and the trauma comes roaring back within us- we can become monsters who lash out and cause all kinds of pain both in ourselves and those around us. Several years ago I was sitting with a group of people and something was said that was not directed at me but I was there in the meeting and I took offense (which can certainly point to some of my own areas of growth that I had at the time) and I responded while in the midst of the group- now wait a minute- that is not fair- you can't say that. Now I was looking at the topic at hand, not realizing that the person I was challenging had been triggered by some of their trauma and their response so strong and they specifically referenced events that had taken place years before that had nothing to do with the issue at hand and I was completely caught off guard. I don't even know what we are talking about anymore- I thought we were talking about this issue over here. Obviously this person had some past trauma to process and because they had not yet done that work they had become a monster who was lashing out at those around them. 2 Trauma can be caused by any number of things; Death of a loved one, past mistakes, divorce, abuse, being involved with family dysfunction, some kind of traumatic accident, a medical emergency of some kind, natural disasters- any number of things can cause trauma and if we don't process it well than we can become a ticking time bomb. All trauma is hard to deal with but an extra level of complexity exists with trauma that we are responsible for it. Part of the processing of trauma is assigning responsibility and blame to specific people. Is it my fault or someone else's fault or a combination? We can't help but run the different scenarios through our minds- if I had done this differently- if I had sold the house and moved to a different state, if I had chosen a different …. than maybe things would be better. Should of, could of, would of- is part of the processing of trauma and I am not convinced that it can be helped but this part of processing isn't actually beneficial because it is either trying to fix the trauma which is impossible- trauma cannot be fixed- it happened and because it happened there is pain. So when we run the should of, could of, would of through our minds we are trying to undo what has already happened and that is impossible. Now assigning blame for what happened can be appropriate depending on the trauma, especially in situations where consequences need to be enforced to ensure the trauma isn't repeated again…but even assigning blame for what happened (if you can- sometimes you can't depending on the trauma- someone dies of an aneurism for example) even if we are able to assign responsibility to someone else- it still doesn't give us peace because having someone to blame for what happened again, doesn't fix what is broken. So identifying who is responsible for our trauma is certainly a part of the processing but if fixing trauma is impossible- what is a realistic response to our trauma when we have processed it well? It sounds crazy- but through a relationship with Christ, we can have our joy and peace restored even with all of our traumas. Acts 18 provides a great example of how to deal with trauma, the chapter opens with a nonchalant reference to some significant trauma and as we work through this passage I think there is great relevance and lessons for each of us to learn: Acts 18:1–3 After this (after Paul spent time Philosophizing with the people of Athens) Paul left Athens and went to Corinth. (which was some 46 miles to the west) 2 And he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to leave Rome. And he went to see them, 3 and because he was of the same trade he stayed with them and worked, for they were tentmakers by trade. Archeologists have the decree issued by Claudius from AD 49 that expels all Jews from Rome because of a certain Chrestus who kept causing civil riots in the city. Chrestus is thought to be an alternate spelling for Christ based on the Latin pronunciation for Christ. It is most likely that the Jews were expelled from Rome because of the riots that were caused over the discussion of whether or not Jesus is in fact the Christ, the Messiah, the anointed One of God who provides forgiveness for sins. So Christianity is causing quite the stir all over the Roman empire- 3 especially in Rome where the course of action chosen to reestablish peace was to kick out all the Jews. Over the last few years I have talked with several families that have lost their homes in fires some were afraid for their lives as they fled from fires but were stuck in traffic. The trauma is significant- some of them have shared their story with me more than once. To be in life threatening danger for so long not knowing if they were going to be burned alive, to loose so much, so suddenly- the trauma stays with you. Aquila and Priscilla lost their home and the business clients that they had built up because they were connected to the civil unrest and their connection is ethnicity- perhaps they participated and contributed to the chaos in Rome, but perhaps not- either way they were forced out and had to begin rebuilding their lives. We are not told whether Aquila or Priscilla were Christians prior to meeting Paul- scholars speculate and we can fight over it if we want to but at the end of the day it really doesn't matter- at some point either before or after meeting Paul, Aquila and Priscilla become devoted disciples of Jesus Christ and they become valuable long term partners in ministry who went on to travel extensively with Paul as they worked to spread the Gospel and establish churches. To sustain himself on a daily basis while in Corinth, Paul partnered with Aquila and Priscilla. No doubt as they sat next to each other working the leather they would talk about their experiences and I can just imagine the conversations that they would have as they share their stories and experiences. How Paul would weave in the Gospel and the goodness of God while also talking about his own trauma, being beaten, imprisoned multiple times, being stoned and left for dead, fleeing for his life over and over again and yet- God's faithfulness. Can you imagine the conversation as they are processing their own traumas? I don't understand, if God is so good than why were my wife and I thrown out of Rome- we lost so much- we suffered greatly at the injustice of an edict that was so far reaching. I don't understand why God allowed this to happen to us- these are the kinds of questions we ask as we process the trauma…and yet in the midst of the hardship and sorrow that is very real, look at what God did, for Aquila and Priscilla they were seemingly placed by God to be at the tip of the spear, to be on the front lines of spreading the Gospel… in a way they were having their Jonah experience: God's intense involvement in their lives often does not free us or protect us from significant hardship. In Paul's case, in the midst of the beatings, jail cells, riots, death threats; Paul sees demons cast out, people healed, the lame walk, earthquakes that set him free and the most unlikely people surrender their hearts to Christ- for example, the jailer- the one directed to be his captor, is the one who accepts Christ as his personal Savior along with his entire household. In a moment we will read of another most unlikely of individuals who accepts Christ. When we process our trauma the first step is triage- the initial grief that comes as we consider what was lost, to acknowledge that the pain and suffering are real and tremendous- this is a necessary and important part of the processing trauma is the grief- but if we stay here, or we try to stuff it because it is easier than processing our trauma further than triage than our trauma can 4 become a cancer in our soul that grows to produce bitterness that eats away at our joy. If we are willing to process our trauma- than we learn to focus on what the Lord is doing and that is where joy is restored, peace is attained and a person can truly declare the goodness of God even in the midst of their hardships. When we continue to read through Acts it becomes obvious that Aquila and Priscilla were not bitter at God for being thrown out of Rome but became thankful for the way God guided and directed their lives. I have the privilege of listening to people as they share their story, and they describe their trauma because it is part of their story and then they start to talk about their personal relationship with God and they declare how God is good- they have joy- they have peace- and the sorrow is still real but they are not bitter or angry- there is peace. When I speak with people who have lost their spouse to cancer, of their spouse is now in prison or a child who died by suicide- horrific traumas and they express the heartbreak and they don't tell me how the hardship was used by God for good- they don't understand or comprehend any redeeming feature- but they are able to declare the goodness of God as they see the Lord working in their lives. There are tears, lonliness, sorrow- but also joy and peace as they focus on who God is and how He continues to work in their lives- that is when I listen and I try to learn. Other people I meet with discuss their trauma which can be 30 year old, and they discuss it as if it happen a month ago- they are stuck and their trauma is all consuming- there is no forgiveness for themselves or anyone else- bitterness doesn't even begin to describe their heart. They are consumed by anger and no closer to healing than when the trauma first happened. Joy and peace are nowhere to be found and if God is real- if- He is distance and uninvolved. How have we processed our trauma? We all have it and at times- even when we can see the goodness of God being worked out in our lives- we can still be triggered. Triggers can be very unexpected both in timing and in what they are. Sometimes we know when we are going to be triggered- a specific anniversary that hits every year or special song or phrase or place where memories were made, but at other times we can just be living life and all of a sudden, something triggers us: Acts 18:4–8 (ESV) 4 And he (Paul) reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and tried to persuade Jews and Greeks. 5 When Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul was occupied with the word, testifying to the Jews that the Christ was Jesus. 6 And when they opposed and reviled him, he shook out his garments and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am innocent. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.” So things are going as they have gone in every other town- some people are accepting the Gospel, while others refuse to consider the truth of who Christ is and are not only resistant but hostile. Acts 18:6 And when they opposed and reviled him… 5 The word revile indicates personal attacks- no longer are the Jews discussing a Biblical understanding of who God is- they are no longer talking about how the Old Testament points to Christ they are now intentionally attacking Paul and trying to tear apart his reputation so that he will be disqualified from teaching in the synagogue. Seeking truth is no longer the goal- now the goal is to attack Paul. I would expect this to be a bit of a trigger for Paul and his traveling companions who have seen this pattern unfold over and over again. I would expect that once they start hearing the arguments turn from debating Scripture to personal attacks they begin thinking- ok, here we go again, how long until these verbal attacks become physical attacks like they have in so many other towns. By this time Paul's traveling companions have started to be fairly aggressive even insistent that Paul leaves town before things get physically abusive. In Acts 17:10 and 17:14 we are told that Paul's fellow Christians immediately sent Paul, they are making Paul leave before things get any more dangerous. I would imagine that Paul's traveling companions, Silas and Timothy are speaking regularly with Paul about moving on- when to leave town, what things should be prepared in case they need to leave at a moment's notice, food, clothing, a bit of money. Trauma does that to us- we expect the worst, we prepare to minimize the suffering as best we can When Paul sees that he is now being personally attacked- that the Jews are no longer able to hear the message but are only wanting to attack the messenger, he has a strong and calculated response. When I spend time with my older brother, one of his favorite things to do is inform me with a specific hand gesture that I am number one. He is usually informing me in some discreet fashion so that other family members don't notice but he is usually laughing- I used to ask “what was that for?” His most common answer- cause I can. No reason. Now he hasn't stopped informing me that I am number one but I have stopped asking why. When my boys or Abby catch on- cause our kids are watching all the time- that will be a fun conversation to explain what being number one means... So why on earth am I talking about this in a sermon- in our culture- informing someone that they are number one with a specific finger has tremendous meaning. In Paul's day- to shake out your garments was a powerful symbol of warning and impending judgement. To shake out your garments also flirt with, suggested, point towards proclaiming a curse. This is an extremely strong and offensive gesture. Why would Paul make such an offensive gesture: because the judgement of God is real and the consequences for rejecting Christ are severe and last for all of eternity. This is offensive and people don't like to talk about judgement and consequences but Paul is communicating one last time to a people who are not willing to listen, unwilling to consider the truth of Christ- and he is trying to show the severity of their decision to reject Christ. 6 Often the cultural expectation is that if a Christian is doing what they are supposed to than they are never going to cause offense- that is not Biblically accurate. This is extremely difficult- because we need to be wise and Holy Spirit filled to know how best to navigate each situation, each relationship, each conversation. At times the best thing- the wise action is to keep our mouths shut, other times we need to be bold and declare the truth of God. How do we know when to speak and when to be silent? It is my experience that wisdom points towards the harder of the two. When I want to talk and tell someone what I know, how right I am and how wrong they are- that is often when I need to shut up. When I don't want to engage- I don't want to enter into the conflict- that is often when it is necessary for me to take a step of faith and present God's truth. Another indicator for me is to evaluate my fear- how is my fear influencing me- often our fear is self- focused- so fear often points us in the wrong direction. So Paul declares the severity of rejecting Christ by shaking off his garments before them and then we are told of the many who receive Christ: 7 And he left there and went to the house of a man named Titius Justus, a worshiper of God. His house was next door to the synagogue. 8 Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, together with his entire household. And many of the Corinthians hearing Paul believed and were baptized. (Crispus is perhaps the most unlikely person to accept Christ, being the leader of the synagogue…) Pastor Levi is quickly teaching Josh our new high school director to tease me about pretty much anything they can. Once of the things they tease me about is the phrases that I use all the time. When we are discussing a Bible lesson for any age group- my number one question is: why do they care? When we are discussing logistics for some event or ministry need- I am often approached with hey should we do this or that- my response is almost always- there are pluses and minuses for everything we do- which option is the best one? Then we talk it though. When I read that Paul left the synagogue but kept meeting in the house next door to the synagogue, I go- man that is really confrontational. That is like rubbing salt in the wound as people are walking down the street towards the the synagogue- as they have done for years are now entering the house next door- week after week there is this reminder- it is in your face very confrontational. Now the positives is that every Jew and God-fearing gentile is used to walking to the synagogue on the Sabbath- so the house next door is very convenient with routines staying the same and you get to see if there are any more opportunities to interact with others who have not yet surrendered to Christ but wow this was confrontational. The hatred that would have been felt by the Jews as they stood on the steps of the synagogue and glared at everyone who walked into Titius' house… and then to see the ex-ruler of the synagogue who had placed his faith in Christ…it certainly reveals Paul's ability and willingness to engage with anyone which would 7 have been viewed as a threat by those who wanted nothing to do with Paul or Christ… It would have been so much easier- so much less confrontational to meet on the other side of town or at least a couple blocks away but that is not what happened- Paul was willing to engage in the tension and stay in it but the hostility of the Jews, the personal attacks had to be causing Paul and his companions to question how long they were going to be able to stay in Corinth. … but then God speaks- Acts 18:9–11 (ESV) 9 And the Lord said to Paul one night in a vision, “Do not be afraid, but go on speaking and do not be silent, 10 for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many in this city who are my people.” 11 And he stayed a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them. Paul hears that and we think- Oh good, we can relax. How exciting- God has promised to protect us. We can put the emergency bag away and have confidence that the threats are just words and nothing is going to come of it. We are not told- but I assume that Paul was excited to hear of God's protection for him, that he can plan to stay in Corinth for an extended period of time- and so I assume- now this isn't scripture- this is Caleb but I assume that the first time Paul sees Aquila and Priscilla after receiving the dream from God that Paul was excited to tell them. I wonder what thoughts Aquila and Priscilla had: I assume that they would have been excited and happy to hear of God's protection- that they would get to continue to minister with Paul and sit under his teaching but I wonder did they also had thoughts of ... that sure would have been nice if God would have done that for us- so that we didn't loose everything in Rome… I'm happy for Paul but what about us… Trauma will make us go there. Even when we are processing our trauma in healthy ways- part of that processing is dealing with thoughts and feelings of- good for you- but what about me? And these thoughts can open the door for bitterness to set root in our hearts or these thoughts can cause us to question God's love for us, these thoughts can be used to distance ourselves from the Lord so we harden our hearts or on the other extreme these thoughts can be used to beat ourselves up for even having the struggle- if we were a more faith filled Christian we wouldn't have thoughts like this. Trauma happens to us, and we develop triggers and we can't help that- sometimes even good things can be triggers. That is why we must be intentional about how we process our trauma- are we focusing on God, who He is and how He is working in our lives or are we focusing on our circumstances, on ourselves- anything other than focusing on God will produce brokenness in our hearts and minds. Through a personal relationship with Christ we can process our trauma and experience joy and peace. To the world this sounds crazy- impossible and it is if we don't know Christ. I had lunch with a guy who went to my youth group as a middle school student- he is now in his 20's, graduated from college a few years ago, working…makes me feel old… anyway during our conversation he said that he would prefer to reject the existence of God but he is intellectually honest enough to admit that no one can prove that God does not exist so he is unwilling to say that God does not exist but pretty much lives like God isn't real. During our conversation which 8 we didn't get to finish due to time he talked about religion being good in that it helps people to be a good person -but the belief in God is unnecessary… I am freaking out- I could barely stay seated in the booth- I wanted to jump all over that kind of thinking because it is exactly backwards- Transformation comes through a personal relationship with God- not by wanting to be a good person… Sure- when we wake up in the morning most of us want to be a good person but as soon as we are confronted with a situation to cut a corner, to say something not true, take something that is not ours, do something for selfish gain- how long does our desire to be a good person hold us back? Let me ask the same question another way: When was the last time you fought with your spouse because you were being selfish? When was the last time you got on a device and looked for something inappropriate? When was the last time you didn't give your employer your best because it was Friday or Monday or because someone wasn't watching and no one would notice that it is gone? When was the last time you declared someone to be inferior to you- by calling them some derogatory name or by informing them that they are number one? Now that is just the average daily stuff that we deal with- When we are forced to deal with our trauma- whatever it looks like for you- the only healthy way to process our trauma is to focus on God and how He is working in our lives. All the different ways to suppress our trauma; drugs, alcohol, work, hobbies, sexual pleasure- none of these are effective long-term and the desire to be a good person isn't going to be very effective when we are dealing with something as painful and powerful as trauma. So God gives this awesome, wonder promise of protection and Paul stays in Corinth 18 months preaching the word: Acts 18:12–17 (ESV) 12 But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, (that is equivalent to our governor- a proconsul was appointed by the senate in Rome) the Jews made a united attack on Paul and brought him before the tribunal, The tribunal is a formal court setting. Here in California we have 58 counties and so there are 58 superior courts- one in each county. Above these 58 superior courts are 6 court of appeals and above these 6 court of appeals is the California Supreme Court. The decisions of the judges in the 58 superior courts and certainly decisions of the court of appeals influence, set a precedent on how other cases are handled in the state- but the California Supreme Court influences, sets a precedent for cases that are handled in the rest of the nation. When the Jews made their united attack they are not just trying to get Paul kicked out of Corinth- they are trying to set a precedent for the entire Roman empire- They want Christianity to be outlawed- they want to put an end to this movement as forcefully as possible. 9 When Paul gets served the summons- whatever that looked like- what do you think was the first thing that went through his mind: God, I don't understand- You said: Acts 18:9–10 (ESV) “Do not be afraid, but go on speaking and do not be silent, 10 for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many in this city who are my people.” God, what are You doing- where are You? How can you not call this an attack? Should we run and not even show up for the court date? Can I trust You? Are your promises really true? My trauma says no- but when I look at how You have worked- yes- but I am afraid and for good reason- the decision of this case is by far the most far reaching decision that an official has made towards Paul specially but Christianity as a whole. You said no one will attack me to harm me- so am I to breakdown and analyze what exactly did you mean by this phrase- because this isn't what I expected or had in mind? Is the win in the courtroom already secured- because if it is- this would be the first win in front of a Roman official? Usually I always end up getting beaten and imprisoned by officials. Lord my past trauma is beyond triggered; what are you doing? In my study this week, scholars also point out that there is a significant amount of information about this Gallio- he was a gifted lawyer so he excelled in dealing with issues of legality. He was also known to be anti-Semitic which wasn't reassuring even though Paul's accusers were also Jewish. This angst would have been beyond measure. Acts 18:12–17 (ESV) 12 But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews made a united attack on Paul and brought him before the tribunal, 13 saying, “This man is persuading people to worship God contrary to the law.” 14 But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If it were a matter of wrongdoing or vicious crime, O Jews, I would have reason to accept your complaint. 15 But since it is a matter of questions about words and names and your own law, see to it yourselves. I refuse to be a judge of these things.” 16 And he drove them from the tribunal. 17 And they all seized Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him in front of the tribunal. But Gallio paid no attention to any of this. The Jews wanted to punish someone so they beat Sosthenes- the ruler of the synagogue. We don't know if this Sosthenes is the one mentioned in 1 Corinthians 1- it could be but Sosthenes was a common name so it very well could be someone entirely different. There is plenty of speculation and theories- we can fight over it if we want but who it is really isn't the point- the point is that they went for Paul but the court didn't hand him over, so they attacked someone completely different. God provided the victory and protection for Paul and this decision played a significant role in allowing Christianity to continue to spread throughout the rest of the Roman empire for more than a decade. This was a massive win- and Paul wasn't even allowed to say a word. God took care of all of it. 10 God really can be trusted. God really is good. His word really is true, His promises are absolute- it doesn't always look the way we expect and our trauma demands that we rely on ourselves but the Lord is active in our lives and He is working if we are willing to look and listen. I needed to get a couple cars smogged this week and my regular guy wasn't available so I went to a completely different shop that I have never used before. During the 15 or so minutes that you have to small talk about whatever, the mechanic asked what I did for a living. I took a deep breathe and said that I am a pastor- and waited to see his response. He lit up and started telling me his experience of serving in the church and that took up the rest of our time. I paid the bill, and as I jumped in the car to leave I told him I would be back the same time the next morning with the other vehicle that needed smog. Next morning I pull in and somehow we get on the subject of his family and growing up years and this guy who I have just met- informs me of some horrific abuse that he and his siblings endured and proceeded to explain how that abuse impacted him as a teenager and continued to impact him as an adult with sinful behaviors that he engaged in. He shared details, personal stuff about how the abuse caused sinful behavior that has impacted the rest of his life. He shared some hard painful life altering details that made my eyes get big and when I got in the car and started to drive away and I went- holy smokes- what just happened- I was just listening and I felt emotionally drained and bewildered and encouraged. As I have processed the conversation I was blown away at how this man was able to process his trauma and identify how the abuse got expressed in very destructive sinful behaviors that he took responsibility for and I noticed how he referenced the cross of Christ which provides forgiveness and redemption. He talked about being thankful multiple times and how he worked diligently to break the chain of abuse in his own family. He kept saying how he is thankful and blessed. The trauma is real, there is certainly pain and sorrow, but through a personal relationship with Christ there is also peace and joy. How are we processing our trauma? As we close, would you pray with me: If you would like prayer for a specific situation or perhaps you would like to speak with someone about your relationship with the Lord- please make your way over to the round tables- someone will be there to speak with you. Benediction: Phil 4:7 7 May the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Amen.
After leaving Athens Paul arrives in Corinth where he stays for a year and a half after getting encouragement from the Lord. While there he meets a couple who become his partners; Priscilla & Aquila. After preaching in the synagogue
