Acts 17:16-33 Questions for Discussion and Reflection

Read Acts 17:16-33. In Paul’s appeal to the Aeropagus he address four “spiritual roadblocks.” How does Paul answer each of these roadblocks?

Religious roadblock—
Luke 18-27—How is this rich young rule’s religious ideas a spiritual roadblock to him following Christ?
Luke 18:24-27—How does Jesus respond?

Intellectual roadblock—
John 20:24-29—What was Thomas’ spiritual roadblock?
John 20:27—How does Jesus respond?

Informational roadblock—
Acts 8:26-35—What information was this Ethiopian official lacking? Acts 8:35—How does Philip respond to his question?

Willful roadblock—
Acts 26-20-29—What is Agrippa’s response to Paul’s testimony?
Acts 26:29—How does Paul’s response to this spiritual roadblock? In

Acts 17:16 Paul’s “spirit was provoked within him as he saw that the city was full of idols.” What provokes your spirit?
