What's Your Take on Easter?
Acts 17:16-34
Tim Badal
It's a glorious day; a wonderful day to proclaim the singular truth that Jesus Christ, who went to the cross to die for our sins, on that third day was raised from the dead. He is the reason why we have hope, why we can have joy, peace and contentment in this world. And that's what this church is all about.
What I want to do with the time we have is take you to a passage of Scripture in the book of Acts. If you have a Bible with you, please turn to Acts 17.

Whether they come through experiences or because of how we're raised, we build opinions or "takes" on certain things.
The hosts talked about some of these preferences on that podcast. I'm going to share a couple of these to help you understand what I mean by this.

Maybe it's because of what your parents drove, or because you bought one and it didn't go so well for you. But you're one or the other. In our technology, you're either Apple or Android. You're going to choose between those. It's amazing how religious we become about this. One of the biggest issues in our family was when two of my sons switched from Android to Apple. It was a big deal. We thought there was going to be a split in the family. but we're doing okay now.
How about this when you're going out for lunch? Do you choose Burger King or McDonald's? This can split up families. Let's get even more religious. Coke or Pepsi? Are you seeing how things that seemingly are so close are offering so many of the same things, ye ...
